Yes I do. For me it is just a means to an end. I did a batchelors degree, then straight into a masters. After I was offered the PhD, I thought it was better to enter that than a graduate scheme as most make you sign a retainer. So If was offered a place on a pilot training scheme it wouldn't be too hard to leave the PhD. I can now spend the next year applying and preparing for any perspective job interviews.
