Yes I agree with that answer. If you have a job that is paying you a wage and providing experience and flying time, hang on to it with both hands! There are thousands of others ready and willing to snatch it from you.

I'm not overly keen to try airlines yet, I want to have a bit more fun.
I have news for you. Those airlines will not be weeping tears of disappointment! They are making redundancies, cutbacks and cancellations in a truly dismal marketplace, with some very bleak prospects in the near and medium term future. There are people with very many thousands of hours in heavy metal also trying to keep the wolves from the door. Have more fun by all means, because there isn't much to be found in the wider industry.

As the global travel industry shrinks, and the economic contraction reduces the flow of tourism and business traffic, you would also be wise to keep a look out for dark storm clouds gathering on your own horizon.
