This career just isn’t for everyone.... It’s become glaringly obvious as I get further into this business, and I see friends, colleagues, and former coworkers drop like flies. Flight training. Loved it. CFI. Loved it. CRJ FO living in base 10 minutes from the airport. Loved it. CRJ CA commuting for a year and a half. mostly loved it minus being gone a lot. CRJ CA driving 1 hour to work in an amazing base with awesome trips. loved it. A320 commuting to reserve for 2 months. Loved it. A320 FO driving an hour to work and flying typically 2 leg days. love it. Furlough staring me in the face..... Ehhh it will pass with time, but man I love this career. I wouldn’t change it for a thing. @Autothrust Blue always tells me I work too much, but the reality of it is I just love what I do. It’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of both the good and the bad. I wouldn’t change a thing about my career, and I won’t be quitting this career until I’m forced to.
All of my jobs have worn me down one way or another, but everyday I go to work I just can’t shake how much I love it. Probably also helps that I’m just such a big airplane nerd. Most pilots aren’t really airplane nerds.
If you want to do something you’ll find any excuse to do it. If you don’t want to do something you’ll find any excuse not to. It’s really that simple.
