Has it been worth it?
Umm, very good question. For the effort applied, blood, sweat and tears lost, I'm afraid the answer for me personally is: so far no. That could change in the next few months but so far I've seen nothing but ill-treatment of the pilot work force, inefficiency and pure incompetence by recruitment/training departments. Everybody has different experiences, and I'm being honest mine haven't been great so far.
