Might be the most useful posting ever made on Wannabes!
For a bunch of supposedly sensible, rational and intelligent people there sure are a lot of pilots out there that make the most basic dumb-assed mistakes in life when it comes to life choices. I think its a problem with optimization. Many pilots suffer from Greener Grass syndrome - there is always a better pay packet/type/lifestyle/base/route pattern etc etc and they make themselves quite unhappy with what they've got in their job which is often what most Wannabes and plenty of other pilots would kill for.
They then do the same thing with personal relationships. Usually with disastorous results and everybody in the business could put a few names to the character in the original post so its not unusual.
