No sugar / no salt:

There is a certain amount of cynicism that is healthy in this industry. It will keep you legal and out of the weeds. There is also a certain amount that is unhealthy. It will keep you up at night irritated at your employer for the things they do that you don't like. It will ruin your QOL and make you bitter. It will make you that angry Captain or whiny FO that no one wants to fly with. Choosing the right balance of cynicism makes the difference between your being a great professional pilot who's fun to work with and being high on your coworkers' avoid lists.

You're just starting out, so you have the choice of which kind of pilot you want to be. I sincerely hope you make the right choice. It will impact your future.
