........well delivered "NC" we do indeed live in interesting times. It's never been this good employment wise as far as I can remember & I firmly believe that it's going to get a whole lot more interesting before it's over, whatever 'over' is !
The airlines have built their core business plan based on one single factor, cost, & to reduce it as much as physically possible. But even that comes at a cost ! That cost is US, YOU, ME & anybody else that's heading down the path of becoming a commercial pilot. We pilots now have a price on our heads & it makes no 'cents' !
