Hardly. It's young punks like you who whored themselves out by accepting jobs with peanuts for pay just to build "jet time". Management took great advantage too. How many RJs replaced mainline routes?
I haven't made less than 200k for over 10 years.
A week's vacation is at least 2.5 weeks of time off and I get 5 weeks of vacation a year, or almost every other month.
I say the above not to brag, but to encourage future generations to not listen to the boo-birds.
Take heart from success stories like I did when times were bleak.
Whiners have been around since the coin toss between Wilbur and Orville.
When I started flying over 30 years ago, one instructor was a furloughed airline pilot who tried his best to discourage me. I almost bought it and lost precious years due to getting discouraged and sidetracked and not believing that my dream was attainable. A friend of mine did buy it and has been miserable ever since.
When I started flying professionally over 20 years ago, some of the Captains I flew with said the industry was a dead end.
Every job I have ever taken in this industry was a pay cut, but was taken for a better future. At every step I left guys behind who thought I was nuts but I now pay more in taxes than they make.
My wife out earned me my first five years in the industry, and now she'll never have to work.
Most guys fly because of passion. We were cursed with it at birth. True aviators will never be happy doing anything else.
Don't give in to the naysayers. When the front door closes, go around to the back. There will always be prime jobs in our industry. The more the boo-birds talk each other into surrender, the more room there will be for those who follow their dreams and believe in themselves.
Happy Holidays.
There are a lot of jobs that pay less than that.
Most of you have completely missed the point of the thread. FI at it's best.
Happy Holidays, miserable bitter souls.

your right they can't take it away from "us" because your "lack of sight", "me, me, me" baby boomer generation did a good job of f'ing it up for all of us that come after you.
