Low pay. High stress. High responsibility. You can't report a lot of health problems(anything mental health will get your license taken away).

Aviation is expensive and shitty. The FAA is a garbage organization that covers it's own ass first.

Agreed to everything in the first paragraph - second isn't something I can speak to as a Canadian. Came back to say you forgot the boom-bust cycle and the constant layoffs that come with it. Would like to reiterate on the stress and (corresponding) responsibility too, with again, the low pay not helping.

Can't say how glad I am to be out of aviation. I will say that it can play well on dating apps though - it can be dressed up to look very nice
