If you get into the profession knowing how it's going to be, you won't be disappointed. If you get in with unrealistic views, it's going to suck.

How is it going to be? What is an accurate set of expectations to have? Should pilots expect to be able to make a living? Will they ever be able to earn the value of their investment back?

And if it is so dire then why should any rational person pursue such a masochistic path in the first place?

Yea I think the old Fedex CA thing has become more of a joke. Don't say it if you are interviewing, that's for sure.
