My traffic watch gig ended today, leaving me 40 hours short of 135 IFR mins. If only they'd waited just one more month....

Fact is, you'd likely have another job to fall back on quite quickly if you'd give up your bitterness and contempt for everyone else, and started worrying about yourself. Yes, some will have it easier in their career, but some will also have a tougher time getting to where they want to be. Besides sheer luck, the major difference maker is attitude.
If you stop burning bridges, in time you'll cross one.
Good luck.
Actually, <edited>, I *am* sucking it up. You don't hear me musing that it's time to choose a different career path just because a little adversity crossed my path, you must have me confused with someone else.Bummer. Welcome to aviation. Suck it up, dude.
Fact is, I'd likely have another job to fall back on if I had the hundreds of hours of multiengine turbine time you did by the time you had my total time, or even if I had my mom sign off on 60 hours of multiengine time in my logbook. But not all of us can be (or want to be) the guy hired into a 121 cockpit with only 400 hours, or have a CFI mom.Fact is, you'd likely have another job to fall back on quite quickly if you'd give up your bitterness and contempt for everyone else, and started worrying about yourself.

When you've walked a mile in my shoes, you can lecture me all you like. Until then, zip it, <edited>.

I fail to see any bitterness in your statement. I'm not sure what other posters mean by burning bridges with it. IMO all you are doing is making a statement. Sorry to hear about your job. Good Luck with finding another one.
