IntrepidTravlr, I feel for ya. I'm sorry you're having a tough go of it now, but I'm gonna tell ya this, it isn't going to get any easier. This industry is brutal. To be honest, with all the info out there on the internet and in the news media today, I'm shocked ANYONE is getting into this profession.

Amen. As a furloughed pilot, I'm looking forward to a true pilot shortage. I just hope I can hang on till it actually materializes in a few years.
