The point is not "Do we enjoy the job?" but "Where is this job going?"
Like you, I have been working in a completely different industry. Then like many of us, I worked hard, took difficult career's decisions, made family's choices and invested lots of money to get a license.
Today, money makers who got enough cash to launch an airline, just have one idea: Make profits profits and profits. Fair enough but "the way" they achieve their business, is, for us pilots, unacceptable. Be sure that behind each new start-up, there is a business plan hiding a "trick" to make huge returns. (shares, subsidiary company,...) Most of them don't care of their employees. I can give you lots of examples that I've been confronted with during the last 10 years.
So when we decided to become pilot it was for the pleasure of flying a plane, enjoying great destinations, making friends,... but certainly not to deal with those Pimps.
