I will say one thing, I was laid off from my turbo prop job back in 2008, no I didn't enjoy it that much, lot of time down route, low basic salary, a roster that changed every five minutes. However having been stuck in a design office since leaving flying I can now say I actually miss flying for a living and if you ask me where I want to spend the next 30 years, well down route in a hotel is prefereable to 9-5 in the Office.
You all seem to think that there are some miracle jobs out there that are better; very few jobs are enjoyable, but I assure you no matter how bad you thing your flying job is, it beats been stuck in an Office.
I do currently earn now more than double what I use to as an tp first officer, however if you ask me if am happy then the answer is no; after two years away from flying, then I am considering every option to get back into it.
