Patience
Be patient..the pendulum is beginning to swing the other way.Its too late if you are over 50 you have probably seen and had the best of it.If you are over 30 and under 45 ..your time is coming.The next 5 years will be both exciting and interesting.You will however need to be both astute and intuitive.My father was a Commercial pilot.He and his colleagues spent hours over BBQ's trying to predict the future of aviation in this country.This was back in the late 70's(and well before 89) So far they have been pretty close to the money...technology,politics,greed,arrogance,short sightedness and loss of mutual respect and comraderie have all played a part in the evolution of the present.
In our neck of the woods(Asia)growth in travel will be enormous over the next 10 years .With the growth of the middle classes,paricularly in China and India there will be a shortage of both capacity and drivers.The opportunities will abound..just don't screw it up!!(for yourselves and those who follow)
