I would never do anything else but that doesn't mean I'm going to just accept whatever gets put my way by somebody who has very little understanding of line flying or in-flight risk assessment (AKA the beancounters). In the case of the UK (and US) airline industry, it's certainly far from peachy for many pilots at the moment!
And to those who don't think this is a "real" job, I think you need to start taking your career a little more seriously! For most of us It's not just some flying club, we train hard, it's how we earn our living and we want be treated like the professionals we are and not some easily replaced button pusher.
But I guess this is all fairly irrelevant considering its in the wannabes section, the harshest reality of being an airline pilot is that many people simply just don't make it.

P.S. Can't somebody start a positive thread on here for once? You lot are starting to get me down now!
