Saab,
I hear you man, I really do. Even as a 24 year old I see friends that I graduated college with buying new cars, nice homes and condos, going on vacations, buying new toys. I even know friends that live $200,000 lifestyles because of inherited money from their family. Some good advice that I keep getting over and over is to be patient. The simple fact of the matter is that airline pilot pay is low in the beginning years. I'm in my second year at Comair though, and with my transfer to the 70/90 seat flying soon as well as picking up open time each month I'm on my way to make in the high 40's to low 50's.
I really would love to buy a house/condo, but I was unable to save anything on first year pay...and I don't believe in 100% financing. If you're 27 and into your 3rd year of 121, I think you're doing well. Just be patient, take a deep breath, and SAVE your money.
Things are ****ty right now yes, but I truly believe we all have a promising career ahead of us. These guys will eventually turn 65, after all

Man why don't all of you crybabies just get out and do something else? I mean with the industry the way it is right now is there no better time? I will certainly agree with what you are saying about all the s%*tty aspects of the job but good Lord it gets so friggin tiring hearing y'all complain so much and just plod along. Man up already and leave.

What other job gives this much time off? I don't have any friends that aren't jealous.

Guess it depends where you work and how your timing was. I'll be on reserve at XJT with 11-12 days off per month for the remainder of the year most likely. It will get better, but right now I can't say I agree!
ONT here I come, but I still have visions of an igloo in my future. We'll have to do the ANC pub crawl someday.
