Gufo,
I never said I am disappointed.
If you are an experienced pilot with thousands of hours on jets and you are home without flying than it's your own problem.
If you look around (not in Italy) you can easily get a job, if you have experience.
The real problems are for the thousands of pilots with 0 experience coming out every moths from all flight schools in Europe.
In Spain "unofficial" rumours say there are 3000 without a job.
Best regards.
