I was on a forum like this in the summer of 2008 and got into a bit of trouble for a couple things I posted so I understand your skepticism. Don't mean any trouble but no one gave me any insight in 2001 or 2007. I'll leave you guys alone. Believe it or not I was just trying to give a way to plan absent intuition. Again, my apologies.

My family appreciates that I have a really good job for pay and benefits, but they have all said how much they would hate it. Irregular hours, multiple time zones, living out of a suitcase, one hotel after another, trapped in a little box with the cruise control on for hours trying to stay awake isn’t that appealing to them. I’m still interested in aviation and the industry, but I really don’t miss flying, I just really wish my absence wasn’t due to what’s going on. Months off is great, but definitely not at the expense of what this is doing to the economy or our industry.

disclaimer, this is the rare experience for me and I genuinely really enjoy my trips and guys I fly with. But there are those times like above when all the enjoyment of the job comes to a halt when your fellow pilot just hates life.

You want to know what a bore is? Sitting in cruise for 5 hours next to a pilot that has no interests outside of airplanes, complains about his ex-wife, nothing seems to make him happy, has poor social skills and yet still wants to meet up for dinner or drinks on our layover in Newark.

Nothing is more satisfying than sitting there quietly eating my possibly spoiled crew meal, staring out the window wondering what my wife and kids are up to, realizing it’s only leg one of a 4 day trip all while watching the clock sloooooowly click a minute away. What a rush this job can be!

With what's ahead for many of us, as well as myself...you have no idea how much I'd prefer that over the alternative at the moment...
