Whatever happened to Vito? Did he heed some of the harsh but truthful advice offered? Reading the posts of pilots seeking the holy grail of airline flying, I'd like to offer a different prospective. A friend went through the ranks, GA, ag pilot, floatplane pilot and finally landed his dream job flying a shiny new 737-800.
He quit after 9 months. "This isn't flying" he said. And went happily back to single engine turboprop. Not everyone is suited to or embraces the style of flying demanded by the operators of many of the so called 'low cost' airlines. Listen to the pilots out there (eg the poster of 'why this job sucks') much more informative than ground school hype. Take onboard the views from many different sources, and you may find that the perfect aviation job for you might not necessarily be in a passenger jet.
