    Well, while I haven't landed, I've taken the controls a few times. I've been up three times, flown all three for about a half hour of each 1-to-2hr flight. Not recorded or anything, just messing around and stuff. I really enjoy flying. It's killer fun. Alot of benefits (not monetary) to the field, just not easy to get a stable job flying.

    its easy to make it stable, just when the hiring boom comes get hired on at the beginning so you get enough seniority to ride out the bad times. and there is a lot more than just airlines.

    Thought about something like cargo. Especially like flying to the carribbean or something. But it seems airlines are more stable, better benefits, and better paying. I could see doing cargo though...
