Who else is tired???????????????
 
Anybody else want to give up and go find another job where we can easily make more then we do as a regional pilots, not to mention weekends off? If it isn't bankruptcies or oil, its who is going top buy who blah blah blah.

The flying is ok, the schedule has potential to be great ( I love day trips and 4-day weekends), EVERYTHING else...well kinda blows....

If you guys think there will be a pilot shortage in the next 20 years, you are kidding yourselves, if it isn't for the miserable Age 65, or the airlines with 1,000's of pilots about to be out of a job, looking for a new one, it will be the ridiculous Multi Crew Pilots license.

If only I went to Riddle, I could of went from Graduation day to A320 Class.........

Flame away my good friends, flame away

Im tired of it and I am at a company in a position where the big F is in my eyes quite a bit away. I am looking to do something else. I have contacted colleges about returning and getting a degree in orthodonics and opening a practice.

I personally like flying but the biggest bonus (for me) in this career is the ability to move where ever I want. I get tired of living in the same spot after about 2-3 years and like to move to a completly location for a diffrent lifestyle. If your willing to commute any place is almost possible. This is something I have to discuss with the wife because once you open a practice thats where you stay.

Isn't it kind of early for jack-and-coke? Or are just wrapping up last night? ;)

Hey SAAB, must be all that boring jet cruise time. Come back to colgan and back to "real" flying in the SAAB. It's calling your name. You have to admit, Colgan sucks but was it ever boring?

Last summer I moved, and watched the movers labor in 100 degree plus heat to unload a 53 foot 18 wheeler full of stuff.

This is just one of many many examples of jobs that i think to myself...no ..freaking..way

I can't see myself doing anything else, not do I want to do anything else.

We all got the sickness...
