Listen guys I know the past few years have been rough, but in the next few years there is going to be a mass exodus of pilots (retiring), and not only are the big boys going to have to replace them but they are going to need to hire a ton, becuase they have been flying the past 5 years with the bear minimum of pilots. 9/11 hit us pretty hard but I feel that things are slowly starting to turn. I think we are in at a good time. And the money for airline pilots was never all that great for just starting out and that is what most of us are doing, JUST STARTING OUT. Look at the payscale of SWA, FED, UPS, CAL etc........THEY MAKE GREAT MONEY. American, Delta, United even though they used to make much much more, still is pretty good, and that is going to change, especially with the airlines once again making profits. I am excited for all of our futures and just remember we do have the option to go sit in a cubicle and make enough money to have a house, car, blah blah, we are Airline Pilots we do for a living what alot of people can only dream. The fact that I can still say this and be in debt and have to work two jobs to just get by just shows how much I love what I do, and how much you guys all do too. We can all leave the industry but then we would be bitter and hate ourselves for it. Just ask SKYHIGH hell tell ya!
