I'm happy. Jacked in the 757/767 5 years ago to go back to helicopters. Now flying air ambulance and police shifts covering other people's leave and training absences. Every day is different, some days are tediously boring, some we are run off are feet.
No security nause, we just wander out to the aircraft and go flying.
Sure the money is a lot less. I'm glad I did the airline thing from F27 to 767, but I don't really want to go back (yet...never say never!)
I'm proud to be a pilot, yes...
