if you're doing this for the strict love of hand flying an airplane, then you should probably look into a different type of flying, as no airline, regional or major is going to give you that satisfaction, unless you're flying a nice piece of historic equipment.
Truth is, millions of individuals hate their job, and millions of individuals will retire from the same job they hate. Typically, all we do on here is ***** about how little we're getting paid, although i'm sure we heard what we'd make in the interview, and then after we make crappy pay, we complain about it a lil' more...all said and done, i'd rather not hear the complaining unless someone's doing something to fix the problem.
Also, what good does it do complaining if you're not even in the freakin industry anymore?
