oh my man i was there 8 short years ago when i left flying because i didn't have the money to continue. I only had a basic CPL and was paying back 25k , that was alot of money back then, and today that's even a lot more because i have none.
But my friend I'm BACK, I have just got my first break now ,after doing my instructor rating last year.I am doing what i really love..........
I am quite sure that you feel that this is the end ,but you are very wrong. The money is going to numb your feelings for now but eventually the money doesn't have the same original value, and begins to look somewhat stale.
one day you will be sitting in your 32 nd floor plush office ovelooking the world and you will notice in the distance just above the horizon a small spec and as you sit and gaze the spec grows big enough and eventually you realize that it's just a chieften and I hope that it's me me in there looking at all the poor people on the ground looking up at me and "DREAMING"
wake up look at reality you are the mate where i can only dream of getting to.
In a selfish way leave to make room but stay because you are probably a very good pilot, and that is what this industry needs.
honestly mate Good Luck in whatever you decide.
