Yes except for the strain on my family..often away for three weeks a month. Poor initial salary nearly 50 years ago, bully boys and poor training. Lots of accidents and twenty years to a command. Many health problems including malaria and neurotoxins.
Fabulous life, demanding skill set, young, enthusiastic, well educated cabin crew. Saw a lot of the world when only the rich could afford it. Loss my license and really missed it but was given a very good retirement package which has allowed me to fly into my 70s.
life and flying is what you make of it.
Flew over Paris and Heathrow today..although just a pax window superb. Not a patch on the greenhouse up front but still a priveledge.
yesterday paragliding with eagles.
