Good article, Spid. Well, by “good” I mean “informative in a pessimistic way”.
I assume that you are young enough to try again “one day”. I’m not. Well into 50s but Loganair were kind enough to offer me a Sim Assessment for FO. Cancelled. I’ve basically been told by HR “no chance, now”. At least I have an FI job that relies upon MOD sponsors (but we’re grounded at mo’ and have a full complement of FIs).
My daughter & fellow mums in their circle say that no way will they fly abroad with youngsters - it’s the whole air travel infrastructure thing - underground, buses, taxis, security, security trays, retail areas...then trusting that an aircraft is cleaned thoroughly. And that’s before getting to destination.
Damn and damn again. Damn.
