Yes, I enjoy flying but I have come to detest the industry. I could have made a lot more and had more self respect if I had remained an engineer. Redundancy is not a happy prospect at my age. Neither is having "missed the boat" and remaining a nobody due to unlucky timing rather than any failing on my part. Especially when one's peers are all enjoying commands elsewhere.
Bitter? certainly. If I fell into a barrel of tits I'd come out sucking my thumb..
