Are there going to be CFI's anymore?

SkyHigh you always say your goal is to inform those that don't have the information needed to make a good choice. To inform those that believe the advertisments of living the grand life as an FO that the life really isn't like that... I get that. But just like in your past post you go beyond that. You say intentionally on a self destructive path. Shouldn't what you mean to say be, "those who are well informed and chose their way"? You aren't here JUST to inform those who you feel need it. You're here to tell everyone they're on the wrong path whether they've prepared for it their whole life or simply read about it in a magazine or watched top gun and got an itch.
You're more like a negative evangalist lol. I do like the fact you're posting though. If it was just all roses here there would be visitors that might not get a rounded perception.

If you were to meet me in person I am much more mild mannered than when I post here. It seems to me that it takes strong and colorful language in order to get a point across in an online forum. As always I only post what I believe.
In addition some of the stuff I write is meant to be taken as a bit of humor. I forget that not everyone "gets" most of my subtle dry jokes.

Yes... Yes it is... But it's fun and when you're times almost up you can look back and say "being an accountant would definitily made more sense, but that would have sucked"

As I have said before
Accountants do the job because they receive a significant benefit in return.
There is a price for everything. An aviation life is expensive on many levels.

The honest answer is I dont know. I love flying...and I love getting paid to do it. Not sure I would be as happy doing the 8-5 crap sitting in an office all day.

Self destructive, hmm. Lets think for a moment. I furthered my education, I am living my dream, i am happier now then i ever was, my family is benefiting from this, I am going to make more money then my previous job field would ever think about, and I did it all by investing well and using my profits to pay for it. Sky High i think it is you that is self destructing because your thoughts on this industry don't prove correct as often as you would hope.

And rewarding on many levels as well. Someone asked me the other day, if I could re-do college, would I major in the same thing, and choose the same career path...

Well hes gotta point there, I mean this is the most unstable industry out there, not to mention you could be the best pilot flying for an airline with 15,000 hrs and get furloughed only to get on with another airline behind people with years and years, as well as thousands of hours less than you, and you are beneath them, that is rediculous, we should all have ALPA senioriry numbers
