Looks like I've won over a Wannabe - that didn't take tooooooo much effort then ;-)
I'm all for a follow-your-dreams ****-or-bust now-or-never attitude because without it non of us would have dared take a step up the steep sides of MtCommercialPilot. I honestly hate to be the one hammering in Stop, Despair, There Be Dragons! warning signs on all the pathways. It gives me no pleasure and does nothing to assuage my own career concerns..
Nevertheless there are hoards of flip-flop wearing idiots strolling up the mountain trail with nary-a-care for the forecast or current conditions.. I'll be manning the big yellow helicopter later as their predicament overcomes them and the tears flow.
The situation is grave. Look at the likes of Aer Lingus and their recent result as a coalmine canary. It won't get better and it cant and wont go on.. 2000hrs is going to be the new 200hrs in 2010.
