Chin up cabinready, you're in a lot better position than a lot of your compatriots - 3500 TT with some glass jet and 34 years old is not actually a bad place to be ... twasn't that long ago that netjets europe was hoovering up guys in exactly your position, and that is a GREAT job - and my mates in that company tell me that they're working hard again all of a sudden, all those Russians have gotten over the financial crisis and they're splashing it around on fractional citations just like the good old days

The bizjet world feels the highs and lows of the global economy a lot more than we airline plebs, but good times will surely roll round again for you guys soon. You're lucky in that most millionaires don't actually want to get involved in the business of selling P2F and charging £35 grand for a £10 grand rating and generally screwing the 200-hour superstars, they actually value and reward good people with brains and experience sitting in their driver's seats and you clearly have some of both. Stick it out and stay current and keep networking, when you least expect it you'll suddenly win the job lottery
