I think it should be pointed out that it is entirely possible that those FR pilots WWW knows are in their first aviation job.
If so, they have never worked anywhere else. I mix with those who have worked elsewhere first and their views are very different. No matter how enthusiastic you are you have to consider life 5 or more years into working for such a company.
Think back 5 years - wherever you work or study you most likely feel completely differently about that place now. Many rely on you to make an unthinking, enthusiastic, brain free decisions in selecting an aviation career.
If you have the chance to discuss a career with anyone in a given company, simple human nature would be for you to go to the new joiner - the person closest to you in experience and aspiration.
This may be understandable but is stupid beyond belief after the money you've laid out on becoming employable. The new joiner/first time airline pilot is the very last person on earth you should talk to. Speak instead to the people who've been there 3 or more years to get the true flavour.
After all - don't you find yourself smiling when you hear someone brand new at where you study or work raving on about how fanstastic it all is??? The truth is somewhere between the views of the insanely enthusiastic new starter and the grizzled veteran. Someone there for around 3 years is about right.
Sadly, the truth is also that many of you would prefer not to find out.
