I need to have positive thoughts and attitude.
Bang on the glide slope!

You're in a good position now: 800 hours, you're an FI, speak 2+ languages and by the sounds of it you have the right attitude. Thats a lot more than some guys aged 24 entering the industry have. Its easy to look at someone better off than yourself and ask "Why isnt that me?" Its trickier to spot what you have in terms of positives and realise that theres a lot more people worse off than yourself! Think of those guys coming out of integrated courses now with 200 hours!

Fast tracking through P2F is not all its cracked up to be and there are other ways to achieve what you want to achieve...

If you have no committments go and explore, try different things in different countries in aviation. You'll build experience, meet new people, make new friends and have some amazing fun enroute - in a few years time when things start to pick up you'll have some useful life experience to share over and above others your age.

Wish I was 24 again.
