Well said!!
Its good to see that as a young pilot you demonstrate insight and intelligence.
I fear however that as you point out the occupation of airline pilot is quickly becoming a rather unattractive proposition.
I can tell you that the novelty of flying a big jet rapidly diminishes as you become older and maybe become a parent with a mortgage and bills etc etc.
Spending a large chunk of your time away from your family and sleeping in one hotel after another while you study throughout your working life just to keep your job so you can top out at $100 000 a year late in your career is simply pathetic.
Acknowledging that there exists a certain level of passion for the work by all who pursue it one must seriously stop and think about recent events however, because passion alone will not sustain you and your family.
Goodluck!
