Leaving?
5&6
I cannot support brakedwells avice too strongly
My route was different, I was much luckier
I flew the Viscount in the RAF and so left with an easy intro to British Midland where I stayed for 6 months and was then dumped for the winter
After 6 months on the JP at Shawbury I left because it was obvious the job was doomed and rejoined Midland on the Viscount
They expanded and I was in the left hand seat of a brand new 737 two years later. After a spell in management I was moved on at 60 because of the French airspace rule, Sir Michael and his lot were very good to me over the years with some rough patches
After leaving BMI I went to Eastern for the five years up to 65 and have recently retired for the third and probably last time
I was very lucky, things have changed a lot. Throughout those years the knowledge that I had a pension made it possible to take risks that would not have been wise
Best of luck mate, keep trying, be diligent, work with nice people, the best assett you can get is a good wife to see you through the tricky bits
