Council Van - I was made redundant in July 2008 when the downturn was just beginning and I haven't worked since! Is that enough to make you feel a little more positive?
Oh, and not forgetting that my Employer's Contract stated that even in the case of redundancy I had to repay my bond which had two thirds of it remaining!
Even given the above I know that there are almost certainly pilots out there that are far worse off than I.
