Yeh, I'm kicking myself for not jumping about 15 months ago. Having done all I ever set out to do, I finally realised I liked flying. A DEC friend of mine with flybe got around 700 sectors last year. I got less than one per month.
There's more to it than that but as I'm in my 40's - and I'm sure a lot will disagree - it's a clear-headed, informed lifestyle choice for me. I'd much rather be doing short UK/EUR sectors on a turboprop feeling current than sitting in bad weather over darkest China getting 10 landings a year and having to reinvent the wheel every time I get airborne.
Well, breakfast awaits. Looking forward to joining Jim and the gang at the earliest opportunity.
