Nearly 15 yrs spent analysing banks and the banking sector in the City (averaging 70hrs a week... I know very dull.... but in demand at present).
Got to stage where had ATPLs exams done and then put rest of flying training on hold for time being... because day job made it obvious what a sh8t show this was going to be for pilot recruitment.
Current flying for fun with several hundred hours... have owned shares in various light aircraft.... am only generation of family who hasn't (so far) been a professional pilot (old man BA, Grandad RAF, mum hostie etc etc).
Am I a failed wanabee.... hmmm not yet (how do you define "failed").... am I spreading doom.... yes.... because that is what the world is going to be like for next couple of years.
