I understand the feeling, at least a little.
I hate to throw the word 'luck' around too much, because that is a bit like saying hard work doesn't pay off. BUT- the gentlemen about 1.5 years ahead of me career-wise with little or no dual given are now upgrading to captain at their regional and I will most likely instruct for a very long time yet.

Of all the people in here, I have to bow down to you. You speak facts and you're pretty open minded as compare to some of the folks here. I enjoy reading your posts and it's a motivation for me. Keep up the good work.

skyhigh tells it how it really is.
if everyone cant see this industry for what it is now they need slapped in the face.
people need to stop working for these horrible horrible pay wages
aviation is in the big dumps
pilots are only killing eachother

I really hope that one day I can look back and see a reason or benefit to all of my years of flying, On a shelf above my desk is a pile of logbooks. I just kills me to think of the sacrifices that the pile represents. I wish there was a clear and redeeming reason for it all.
Real Estate is not doing all that well here. Prices are flat and it is near impossible to get a loan. However I hear that things are much worse in other places. I really believe that the future is the west coast of America. My state is growing. They say that in 15 years our population is going to double.
Currently our construction projects are on hold and for the most part we are shut down, however we have rental portfolio and other means of support. I am just waiting to see what next summer will bring.

re:
I once flew on an ATA flight. For some reason the airline felt really cheap. I'm not surprised they went under.
I do miss pre-9-11 flying though, where there were like, 9 people onboard an airplane sometimes. Not so packed.
