Default Re: Bailing Out

DFW,

I'm in the same boat as you, really same company and place in my thoughts of leaving. I'm looking at ATC, I love to fly, but the way Eagle treats their employees is on a very low level at times. I have always enjoyed flying till about a month off of IOE. It's a different type of flying at the airlines, it's a job. This past week I had the best time flying around LGA & DCA. The approaches into those airports bring back the stick and rudder skills, back to real flying. I looking to get away from the long days and have any kind of social life. Also, I drink about 4 gallons of water a day to keep hydrated. I tired of dry skin and living paycheck to paycheck. (We qualify for food stamps) (My highest paying job to date was in college as a bartender) Yes, I will miss flying that airplane down to mins and have 50 people get off afterwards saying thank you. But, that happens very rare and I am willing to leave for a better life financially and for my family.

Good luck and feel free to PM me if you want to talk about this more
