I take it then, that the jobs market really did go belly up after 9/11? Like you say, its a 50k gamble, but if I continued in my current line of work and just kept plodding away, then I've always got it. I have a thought that, as with so many other things, a crisis will arrive some time in the future where all the clouds of doubt which exist as to the future of commercial aviation at the moment, will blow away to reveal a real lack of qualified aircrew. Who knows, and who can say.

Your advice is equally as sound - I value your opinion. as I say above, who knows what the future holds. THe Frag caveat does limit my options, but therein lies another gamble. If things continue to improve here as they are doing, so will the need for regional air travel improve. Also, there are a number of other operating bases within striking distance.
Then again, £50 k buys a huge fridgeful of beer
Keep the views coming folks. You'll either talk me in, or out, but at least I'll have had the best advice..........
