Atomic roster - when i started in aviation people were saying exactly the same thing. I got my first job on turbo-props and I remember meeting the chief pilot of a low cost 737 outfit and when asked about job prospects simply replied 'that Dash 8 is the most fun you will have I would stay there'. It hasnt gone unnoticed that all these people saying that only talk the talk but never walk the walk if you excuse the cheesy line. People who complain it is not what I joined up for - its not worth it to be away from home etc. They are still there though! I am on my 3rd airline and flying longhaul and still loving it and I would say that it most definitely is worth it. People of our 'ilk' do not just fall into this job but have a genuine interest and motivation and it is hard to not enjoy it when you have completed your training and are flying for a living. Go for it!
