I often ask myself what drives us to work in such an unstable industry, always at the mercy of one disaster or other.
Because on those days - in my case - when you can depart Haneda and overfly Mt Fiji in wintertime - it was impressive.
Or when I'm flying up the east coast BN-CS and parallel a line of active TS for 50nm - it was impressive.
The fact that 60K ton of material (737) can get off the earth - I can sort of explain the physics! - is always impressive, when an A380/B747 does it it's still magic.
I've been fortunate to go to an office that has interested me for my working career - certainly better remunerated in the airline days - but the GA days held their own charm.
Cheers.
