Personally I would go tomorrow if I could afford to - but the mortgage has to be paid and the kids have to get through University before that happy day. Don't get me wrong, I have been flying for thirty years, military and civilian, its often been fun and usually challenging but the time comes when I no longer want to put up with poor management, lousy rosters, and pseudo-American yukspeak from human resources departments - oh yes and I would like to no longer endure fear of the telephone when on standby!
The older one gets the faster time passes, the family suffers, and well there are just so many other things in life to look forward to - just a few more years........................
