Come and join us in civvy street, its not so bad, you need a stack of cash or a very big loan, a lot of hard work and in a couple of years hence you could be chained (financially) to the right seat of an orange airbus or something Irish....

Seriously, sort of, if the service is screwing you over and there is no respite on the horizon change suits. I did and it was a bumpy but interesting ride in 1995.

There is also a pilot shortage looming (has been for twenty odd years) so anyone with the required ability, including non flying service personnel, can give it a swing.

Oxford Kidlington just down the road from Benson....

Older civvy pilots like me fail their medicals, get fed up or have earned enough to get out so opportunities out there.
