Setright:
I hear you. When I was flying a twin piston a long time ago, they were the days. We slept in the airplane all day and flew in the evening. All our flights arrived at basically the same time. We waited for each other to go out on the ****. I was BROKE ($795 per month), but you know what made up for it, it was the guys I flew with. We now have gone our separate ways but I know exactly where everybody is.
We don't email much, because it is not the same. Just having a beer with them in person speaks volumes. Christ they were the days. I have made new friends at CX and it is the latter 50% that keep me going.
I agree, flying is only half the job. The other half is making friendships.
All we are looking for at CX is a contract. Whether it is crap or not, at least it is a contract.
We are all pilots trying to do our best. Some of my friends will never know that.

Pro Pilot, whoever you may be.
I think I am getting old.
