I think it the current climate, as difficult as it may seem, this post is relevant in the sense of keeping focussed. This is particularly applicable to chaps and chapesses that are training and having doubts about the future and getting the job they are working so very hard to get.
It is easy, for current pilots to say never give up, but it is so, so true. I have been an airline pilot for nearly 2 years now, and from what G-SXTY has already said, if you are in it for the right reasons, the job is very rewarding and enjoyable. It was only this morning the Captain, I, the crew and 144 bods down the back were flying into Heathrow left hand down wind for 09L, looking out the window, and the comment even came from the left hand seat, 'there are not many people who get this view from the office'. Nodding my head, and pinching myself just in case, I looked down through the clear air and snow covered fields, to think yes this really is one of the finest jobs in the world
.
All the best.
