I think for your average airline pilot who as been in the job for a few years it all comes down to a couple of things
1.Who you work for
2.The type of contract you have
3.Where you are based
Unfortunately one or a combination of these working against you can ruin the appeal that the job once held. Lots of people have sacrificed a hell of a lot to follow a dream but quickly realise that is wasn't really worth it. It isn't and never will be the career that it once was or the career that a lot of people outside of aviation misinterpret it to be.
