Loved GA
I loved my GA time, but it in the whole is not a viable option. GA is only surviving because of budding airline pilot. The percentage of pilots that grow grow up draming of flying a Van is there but minor. GA should be thankful to the wannabe airline pilots coming through as the budding pilot should be thankful for GA. We are seeing now the proof of this as more cadetships open up and GA is skipped. You will have no asspiring airline pilots ripping of GA and treating it like a training ground, but you will also have few les pilots.
But glad you enjoy your job, I loved my time in Barons and pushing metros around.
