How fulfilling is the airline route??
I went through training and met all the young spotty kids during ATPL's hellbent on getting straight in to 'an Airbus' and wonder what the draw is? Is it simply to get the only flying job that also pays the bills and mortgage? I've been hanging around in GA with a career that pays better than I could ever expect as a FO for an airline, happy to fly anything interesting for whoever I'm qualified to do so. GA flying must surely be more fulfilling with all the demands and challenge at all times placed directly on you. Can't help feeling that by the time I could be a captain and earn better than an average salary the 'the office with the best view in the world' would have started to feel a bit familiar. I must be wrong as I still listen to the conveyor belt of new hopefuls ever wanting to get into an airline asap and read the constant recycling of similar threads on here, however, any comment or debate from those with experience on the inside would be appreciated and possibly educate others.
