OK OK!
It's easy to get cynical as we age and especially as pilots I beleive we probably are grumpier on the whole than the average human being. Maybe that's down to T&Cs and rostering and yes plain old disappointment with our life's lot at times.
But honestly folks what was it that got you interested in flying? Was it a childhood dream? Like those with train driver or rock star ambitions? Do we still appreciate the sunsets above the clouds or the stars in the dead of night? Do we enjoy manually flying approaches into interesting airports? Are we pleased when we beat the IR minimum standard and fly an ILS in difficult conditions?
Yes it's easy to see the dark side! Apparently, the Oxford Dictionary now has approximately 350 words of abuse and just 40 words for praising people - I think it's 40 just for saying someone is insane and 6 for sanity!
Anyone got any positive things to say about flying?
