Hello all, I hardly ever post much here, but as I sit here contemplating the decisions I have made to this point ie going to college, flight instructing ,Skyway airlines and Republic Airways, and now back to flight instructing, I still feel that burning passion for flying. I know pay and work rules have gone down hill alot, thats no lie. Does anyone out there still have that burning desire to fly for a living, like you used to. I mean put all negative things aside. Does your blood really get flowing when an airplane flies overhead of you while driving down the highway. Are you guys like me where you watch the plane instead of the road? I mean even a cessna?
When things start to turn around, what do you other members think that we as professional pilot could do to make things easier and better for us? I mean what could we do to get our profession back? There have to be some other airlines out there that haven't furloughed other pilots, what did they do differently, than Skyway or Republic or TSA ect... I just want to know that there are other pilots out there that believe that there is still a chance to become a captain for a major airline. I wish that I could get some viewpoints from some older pilots as well and advice. Sorry to babble I guess even I don't know exactly what point I'm tyring to get across. Again thanks if anyone even responds.
