I'll be receiving my bachelor's degree next Sunday and am at a bit of a crossroads. I have a good chunk of my GI Bill benefits remaining and while I know the most responsible thing to do would be to use them to get my MBA, a part of me wants to pursue an old dream and use those benefits to attend a flight school (probably ATP in Florida) with the intent of working my way to a career as an airline pilot. Looking at these forums, however, I've noticed a disturbingly large number of pilots advising aspiring pilots to seek out a different profession, as the industry is currently in a bad state.

My question, then, is to current airline pilots: If you were able to do it all over again would you avoid the industry?
