With all due respect to you
VB Capt; It sounds like you have given up on even hoping that the situation would improve.
How did the old saying go? 'If you think that you are beaten, you are!'
I have been out of full time flying for over 12 years and only earlier this year after a lot of effort did I manage to get a 'foot back in the door' and now, albeit only very occasionally do I get a chance to ferry a Chieftain around the countryside.
Many times I have been advised to give up.
Not until they put me in the ground!!!!
You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.
