I disagree, about most of the points, but i really hope in ten years when you are struggling still to earn even a basic living in GA beacue the aviation industry has slowed completely trapping you in a Navajo doing night freight that you dont regret this decision.
I dont know many second offecers complaining about there job and the lifestyle it gives them.
Yes the housing part of the deal sucks but in 10 years time you will be so far better of than doing the GA bit.
