AlexB757, I can very much sympathize with your experience;a very sad tale. But hell, you know, money isn't always the key to a happy or succesful life. Ask the doctors and lawyers too, they will probably tell you a very different tale of stressful existances, with only a small handful that make it to the top! I bet the average doctor or lawyer would give his 'lot' in for a better life.
Yes, the grass is always greener on the other side. I look back on my time flying and I don't regret one little moment of it. It was exciting, yet I don't miss it now; maybe I'm lucky. Regardless of our own experiences in aviation, I think the original post stands good and that says that the face of flying has changed considerably in the last few years, and not for the better.
Exceptions accepted, of course.
