It seems to me that in the past flying was a means to an end. Now it must encompass the main focus of your life to remain happily in the saddle. I was always about the stuff that happens between trips when you are at home.

Every year it seems that the airlines want more TAFB and offer less in wages. I want a life more than a career. In ten years the airlines will be made up mostly of young single studio apartment living aviation monks. If it isn't there already.
