Servo, B738, Sunfish and your colleagues, I’m sure no one here (except the most twisted Fu€£s) will tell you I TOLD YOU SO , it’s just a far too serious a situation that you guys & girls find yourself in. The bare truth is that any one of us could find ourselves in your situation, after all we took the first ticket we could get beit TAA, Ansett or QANTAS in my day or the choices you had to be where you are today.
As I’ve said before, if VR is still on the table, I hope you can avail yourselves of it. Put a portion of that to one side of you can (mortgage in MEL/SYD, kids in school...I hear you) and keep your Medical & MECIR current and when this virus runs its course you’ll ALL be ready to get back on the horse again. Time has run out for blokes in their late 50s, like me, but you fellas that are a decade or more younger will be the senior,experienced pilots of the next upturn.
Hang in there.
