I am very lucky to have the flying job that I have. I fly a C402 three days a week and still get 50-55 hours a month. I love flying that plane. My goal is to at least get on with a regional one day and I may just stay there. I used to want 300k/year, but it is just money. As long as I am living comfortably, I am happy. I also work part time on the ramp for a major airline and between the two jobs I do pretty well.
Here is what gets to me. I have to ride an employee bus to the terminal when I go to my ramp job. I don't know how many times I hear current regional and major airline pilots bitching about their jobs. If they are bitching that much, then quit and I'll take your job. They have jobs in this crazy industry and some of those major airline pilots probably know that they are lucky to still be flying and they can't stop bitching. I sometimes want to smack some sense in to them, but it wouldn't do any good. They are probably the ones who bitched all the way to the left seat of their 767 from the beginning. Give em what they want and they will still complain I'm sure. Oh well, it just makes me ensure myself if I make it their someday that I won't be like that.
