Isn't it just absolutely amazing how the airline industry went from one extreme to the other in such a short period of time!
I remember when I was finishing up college and just applying with the regionals how all the majors were hiring in record numbers and everything looked so rosy-peachy. Then 9/11 happened and things got bad.... and got worse, and worse! Look where we are now. Some majors may not even have all the furloughees back and hire new blood for 8 - 10 years.
I think we all know that wherever we are now, we are going to be there for a long time. So what changes have you all made? I have somewhat lost my "drive" or "ambition" to go to the majors that I had before. I'm not even motivated to upgrade and get my 1000 PIC Turbine anymore. What's the point, no one is hiring. I'm at the point where I just say f.uck it! Yes I am happy to have a job, but I'm just trying to enjoy life and care less and less about the airline industry.
Sorry about the somewhat negative attitude, but this current airline industry has made me feel this way.
