The prosperity that is mentioned will happen, and the future is indeed bright.
But I have to temper that with being in the "Clawing my way to the bottom rung" bit I still have yet to go
Depressing it is, would rob a bank, but you know they arrest people for that ....
There is a light on the horizon, watching my CFI's where I train, I have concluded if I claw my way up to that level, I will then amass the hours needed to move on within a year or so. (On the other hand I might stay there, if I could work the 206 for the charters, and tours in Orlando, etc., but hey, it's way off in the future, may not even be there, or maybe not a 206 by then).
I'd even consider coming over the pond (being single does have its advantages) to work over there.
Likely in 5 years I'll be either just starting, into, or finishing up my CFI duties in south florida. (With fingers crossed I say it).
Hmmm, there is a bank across the street .....
