Aviation has not been kind to me and to be honest I would walk in an instant if only I had another career marked out as plan B.
Where does it go wrong? Well simple really: The A380 is not the biggest thing in the air these days; the unbelievable size of the egos of so many is!
There are no supermen, no modern day heros. It is a job. It is how we earn our living. Loose the ego and it could be the best job in the world?
In my career I have met some very nice people. I have also met an awful lot of the nastiest you could ever hope not to meet. Unfortunately the latter heavily outweigh the former.
And BTW why why why in these threads is our job ALWAYS compared to a 9-5 office job? Don't you see that there is a mirriad of other things to do in life that are interesting, rewarding, challenging and fulfilling that will provide security, progressment and a nice pension at the end that don't entail sitting in an office for 40 hours a week?
I only wish I had seen that 30 years ago!
