Hmmm. I presume you are in commercial aviation? Your post reminds me of a workshop the actor Tom Hanks had given, some years ago, to young wannabe actors. Tom's advice was to wait until a serious, ambitious role is offered to you and just don't accept any old crap. Of course, Tom was sitting pretty with a multi-million dollar bank account whilst his attentive listeners, broke and penniless, and desperate to find some acting work, hanging on his every word. Of course, Tom never dredged up his early "serious" offerings vis a vis: Splash, The Burbs et al.
