TIME
I think that there are just too many people chasing too few jobs.
Jam tomorrow?
Also there is just not enough money in this game - strikes strikes why do we bother fawlty? I met a BA captain who said that BA FOs cant afford to buy a house in the south east and he had only just managed to get a 2 bed terraced house himself.
The best time to be a pilot was in the 20s and 30s barnstorming.
However if you are a gambler with time and money to spare go for it ! You could be the one of the lucky ones.
Many people have made a lot of dosh in the house price boom and are spending it on this. Top of the market? Bust to follow?
War beckons fuel up? and Sept 11th is a distant memory we hope.
How many of the 15,000 professional pilits on the CAA stats have flown multi crew?
There are a lot of middle aged men still living in hope lives on hold ..... waiting waiting waiting.......TIME??..
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for soemone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to nought or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say............................
