However, very few of the GI bill students ever became professional
pilots. Most got their ratings and already had a "good" job. Look at
the poor suckers who went into the airlines for a "career." Have you
EVER seen a happy airline pilot?

YES!!! I was a VERY happy airline pilot at Pan American Airways.
Why would I not have been? A salary better than most of my college
classmates, worked only 12 days/month to earn it, travel free all
over the world and in the better days, a bunch of lovely young ladies
to party with. As a lifestyle, it sure beat anything that my neighbors
were doing.
