There is no suprise that you can descend into negativity about the whole aviation industry when things like this occur. And as hard as it might be, it is important to stay positive. I don't think I am talking out of my ass when I say negative people find it harder to progress. That is not an aviation slant, that is life. I experienced it in my previous career, and it is very evident in the new path that I have chosen to follow. It is not a dig, I know it is very easy to slip into that frame of mind when things aren't working out as intended. However letting yourself wollow in self pitty gets you no where. I hope it works out for you both and your husband gets his break. Be positive!
