Of course it could just be working in this part of the world. Sometimes I think about working in civilization again and somewhere deep, deep down I feel a glimmer...
You could be right, maybe leaving this place will help to fall in love with flying once more and thats what I am in the process of doing.. cant wait to get the F@%k OUT!!!

As much love as I had for aviation when I was a kid it's all gone !!!
Please be considerate of others and don't call that aviation.

I agree it looks like, you spend some time in an aircraft, you wear a sort of US Navy uniform - which is only for the cockpit and the crew bus - but you also had to pay with your Dad's money to get the job, and then you realize it's always the same month after months, for your whole life, with no prospect to do anything else...
A few manage to survive because they have done something else before, in their previous life, but others, many others - including those ones on those ADs - whaoww, I wouldn't like to be in their shoes....

You're fighting hearsay with hearsay. All highly subjective and a matter of opinion. So, as far as telling people not to spread crap goes, well, take your own advice!

While I'm at it,
But I do agree with you on one thing, as much as I LOVE flying, if I had another chance I'd go and flip burgers instead.
Great news - the chance is still available! Nobody is holding a gun to your head saying you have to stay.
McDonalds will gladly start you off as duty manager too, so you can skip the cleaning and onions/lettuce and go straight to the pass.

Christ it's like a cancer.

"February 2016". Well, those vast months of experience certainly give a lot to draw on. Yes, the big airplane is fun fun fun! Whee! Especially at O-dark thirty on the way to India!

*shudder*

Seriously, do these kids even know how they sold their soul in these ads? Or will that only become evident with the passage of time?

Remember its the "selfie, I can't get enough of myself" generation. Selling their soul for the 15 mins of fame is just part of package. Did I mention how much I love myself?!

They left out the scene from line training, where she was sharing the flight deck with the assistant deputy CFI who'd just returned from lending his 'experience' to Qatar Airways.

To me it looks like that she is quite on the edge of the allowed max. BMI value.

Bit off field Talparc!

Tell you what, they are desperately trying to polish and sell the turd that is Dubai!

They should rather run an ad where a new 380 FO stops on SZR to rescue a kitten thats been thrown from a Land Cruisers window and is then arrested cause he caused the following Land Cruiser to swerve and the occupants spilt their coffee.
