In my original post, my purpose was to show my logical path of making a decision to leave the industry.

Instead of typing pages of anecdotes and events I will leave my calculations for said decision.

Log ALL of your duty time, flying, sitting, time away from home, (in hours) and divide your salary by that time. What is your $/hr. At many times in my career, it was well below minimum wage.

There is also the value of sleeping in my bed every night and the company of my friends and family during every holiday.

There are some that will read my opinion and call me a bad example, weak, unlucky, etc. That's fine.

I stand by my decisions and original post.
