Thank you all for your inspirational comments. Some of your comments have been very humerous. I haven't had a good laugh for a while.
I am averaging approx 75 - 80k pa. I can afford to fully fund a CPL without a loan at this stage but have a wife and three young boys 4, 6, 8. I probably could go regionally for periods.....has anyone done this leaving the family behind??
The comment about instructing is a good one, I was thinking about that path also..and being the old fart S/O or F/O on a crew wouldn't bother me, I'm a professional
(being an operational copper for 22 years has thickened the hide somewhat).
Lots to think about, very good forum and thanks again for your insight & comments.
