The people that trash TMC have never even worked there. It wasn't bad. What job isn't somewhat unenjoyable at certain times? The flying was fun, the planes got fixed, sure the 15/13 is tough, and the days are long, but that's what you sign up for. Upgrades happen, and you get paid on time. The pilots are a good group.
What do you all want from this career? Do you think pilots are immune from our broad economic and working trends of this country?
If you need to go to TMC for your family's income and getting more experience, go do it. I haven't regretted my time there.

I chose to be positive dude. To the younger pilots out there: need an ATP? Need lots of experience including international? Love flying a lot? Want to know your schedule? Want to be based at home? Disregard a lot of the negativity on these forums. There are more happy TMC pilots than these forums make it appear. We all do our fair share of complaining, it's what we do best, but I liken these forums to a hostile crew lounge with grumpy folks--they're in their own bubble of negativity. I would say I'm speaking for the current and former TMC pilots who found contentment in the job and went to work, and came home safely, having fun along the way.

However, if you are looking for a "career destination" this ain't it.
