I was asking what YOU would do guys, not what I should do! <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Supercharged - why hang around?

I have dedicated 15 years of my life [I]Heart and bloody soul[I] to aviation, and having been rejected by QF early last year I thought AN and DJ were good options.

How wrong I was.

Why dedicate another 5-8 years working at Chieftain time and Metro time and Cherokee time when the airine I get into, if I ever get into an airline, has a reasonable chance of being "the one that didn't make it"? (This is not a debate about which airline will survive the next 30 years, by the way!)

I will be in my mid to late 30s before the backlog of Ansett, KD, ZL and Duck pilots clears. Instead, I will jump at the chance of re-training while I am still young enough to enjoy it, get it over with, and get on with breeding rugrats (or practising for it in the meantime).

Cheers guys
