How many other military types have seen the light re GW2 only on retiring from the Services?
In my experience, lots of the mates did see and are still seeing the light, but feel they have no real alternative. Civvy aircrew recruiting is slow and the transition from fast jet to Airbus, Boeing etc must be mind numbing, assuming that you want to leave and pursue a flying career, I know it never appealed to me. I count my blessings daily that I saw the light after GW1 and got the hell out !
