I would prefer if the MODS leave this thread here as opposed to the Leaving the career section, but either way, hope everyone contributes.

So I can honestly say that I am actively pursuing leaving the airline industry for good, have been for a few months now. I can go on and on with the complaining or I can do something about it and take control of my life and not let some incompetent airline management control my life. ( I know this is not exclusive to just the airlines).

I see absolutely no future in this industry and thinking about the future sacrifices I will have to make to make over $100,000.00 and I don't know if it's the fact that I don't have it in me, or simply can't stomach the thought of

1) Eventually, who knows how many years upgrading to once again go back on reserve and have a poor QOL for a slight bump in pay

2) gain enough experience to get "lucky" enough to get hired at some on the brink of bankruptcy major who will pay me 40k the first year (even less at a few other places) to ONCE AGAIN be on the bottom of some list

3) How exciting will it be when you have put a few years into a major only to get furloughed, then what go fly an EMB-190 for 23/hr?

Anyway it used to make me sad that I had thoughts of leaving this industry, but now it makes me sad to picture what my life will be like 30hrs down the road from now.

This job has taken a surprising big toll on my personal relationships and I live in base and work for a "good regional"

Anywway, back in my SAABaroowski days I would post how I was in it for the long haul, however I can offically say I have had it.

Ok, I will stop my crying

Anyone else feel the same way?
