Dont know if you can call it "Loss of Nerve". I find it can be called "Loss of Interest". After 35 years its just not the same. I only want to fly on nice days, hate going to the Grand Canyon in 30-40 knot winds as I know the PAX will Puke and I will get the S
kicked out of me. Just NOT FUN.
I remember the days when I was starting off, I couldnt get enough flight time, eyes were wide open....Time moves on. Now its work.
I find the best way to keep my spirits up is to continue working part time at different locations for different companies. Routine differs and it is always a learning process as to new procedures, maybe different aircraft etc. It puts the challenge in the equation and as a partimer Im no threat to the guys who need fulltime work to support their families.
Flygunz is pretty right on as some keep quiet so their employers dont get wind of their feelings.
I feel better already, time to head for the Big Ditch.
