Andy, I appreciate everything you say on here - yes, people are blinded, and ambitions cloud the judgment of the otherwise rational person.
However, I am also aware that your experience has remained purely within the boundaries of so called 'professional' aviation. In your world of aviation the skies are darkening and hope diminishes as the sea of unemployed pilots grows by the day, ever fuelled through a continuous influx of inexperienced pilots. Indeed, times are going to get very tough.
But out there exists another world of flying - it takes an expeditious pilot to discover it and a harder one to enter it. And it can't be found on this little island, Europe, the States, or Jerez for that matter.
We both know to where I refer - I talk from experience and have been out there a few times in the past - in many parts of the world, flying is a luxury. Out there it's a necessity.
Open your eyes, you'd be amazed what there is out there.
