Good Advice being given now. With the greatest respect I think some of you are expecting too much too soon. A jet with a 1,000 hours is going well in my book. I am not going to do the "back in my day routine" but I retired a few months ago after 42 years full-time flying and yes I'll say it again, with a 1,000 hours you are going well to be in a jet. Try and use it as a means to an end and more importantly, enjoy it, have a laugh, relax and guess what, the world will laugh with you. I had a ball, wonderful career and it still is. It is what you make of it. I even got the goons at Heathrow Security laughing once! Imagine working in a bank 9-5 or like a friend of mine, a Dentist, looking down peoples throats all day. I have seen and done things ordinary folk could only dream of. Far too much negativity helps no one, life is short, live it.
