I would say most pilots are/will be unhappy with their career. Only a small percentage have it play out as planned or desired.

Or, maybe that time where I refused to fly the line as a management pilot to save atleast one job when my company was looking at furloughs or that time when my fellow pilots went on strike. I fought to save jobs as Chief pilot when my company was trigger happy on firing pilots. Yup, I am anti management because I tried to make sure my fellow pilots never faced unfairness.

My guess is that statement from the HR rep was probably meant to be one of your more confrontational-type questions they like to ask. It sounds like you either had a crapoy answer or came across as defensive.

I think it's a much larger percentage than "small." YMMV.
