Well said!
Well said, I cannot agree more.
From the date that I signed the first cheque to the training organisation, to sitting in a jet, it took about the same length of time, six years.
Now, despite my username (Oh, and the location is a bit of a sidewinder too!) I am sitting on the port side of an A330 for a major flag carrier and enjoying the view.
Do I ever think of those not willing to take the risk (for that is what it is; it is hardly shameless leap-frogging) and get heavily into debt to achieve their dreams?
Yes indeed I do. In fact, sometimes I wave to them when we taxy out to depart from 06L in Manchester.
The industry is very well placed for a rapid recovery in the next two years or so. May the optimists and visionaries have their day, I know that I have.
