This is just not a good industry to get into right now. 9-11 brought things crashing down. I have 2 family members in this industry - one is a pilot for American - and he's seen pilots being let go left and right. The other family member also works for American - for 30 years now and she's recently taken a pay cut. You work your tail off and get not that much in return. Morale is at an all time low - people are crabby and don't want to come to work. In addition, I believe that many places that manufacture airline parts, equipment, etc. (for example, Boeing) - are laying off and going broke. Seriously - find another line of work - this is just such a downer right now and probably will be for years to come (it will take that long if not longer for them to get their act together).
