Sorry Jack! No job, in any Industry is perfectly secure. As far as volatile is concerned, I traded glamour for one of the most secure aviation jobs around (I think). If I get made redundant, I'd be worried about your job also, don't ATCOs need pilots to paint circles with at Maleny?
It just amuses me that guys who got out of the Industry for their own reasons repeatedly come on here and spout how we are all welcome to it. Reeks of Confirmation Bias.
