No Gawain, it's not the job it was in many different ways, it's a whole lot better, and keeps getting better every day!
I reminisce about the times, the places, the aircraft, and particularly the people in my career starting 39 years ago, they were all great. The new times, places and aircraft are so much better, and now so many more great people to add to the list who shared my 'adventure'.
The one and only depressing aspect is that I have only 4 years left to reach my 'use by' date, present predictions are that it's still going to get a whole lot better in that time.
