I’ve fought hard to get into aviation and I’ll flight hard to stay in it, even though I no longer have an airline job I’m staying optimistic because the other option is to get bitter and angry. I love flying and can’t envision anything else. Haven’t flown in over a month and I’m truly missing it. I really don’t want to go back to driving trucks or warehousing but if that pays the bills in the mean time that’s what I’ll do. I’ll keep my class 1 current, I’ll try to organise a CPC on the 73 to stay current and keep moving forward. Another thing... I’ll never again complain about a BOC flight ever again!
I’ve spoken to a few “BUTTSCRATCHER”s that have lost their jobs multiple times, a few with Ansett and the biggest take away is... air travel will come back, there will be jobs again, just need to be patient in the meantime. Easy to say, hard to do but that’s the goal!
