What would I have done?

After 10-15 years o/s making decent dosh and the offer of a job back home making less than what I was for 10 years previous, before I retire - yep, probably would have jumped at it too.

It is a FACT that the re-turnees have helped ruin the industry for those now trying to forge a career in aviation in this country.

I just find it very interesting indeed that there is NEVER any discussion of this on these forums.

For those half way through PPL training planning to go onto Com, it may well be a God send. After all, now that it is becoming the norm that now you even have to subsidise the training departments of most airlines in this country via paying for your endorsement - why would any half smart 20yr old bother?

From the rest currently working in GA who dream of just having a wage one day equal to that of an electrician - Thanks guys!
