Thumbs up

Well guys great arguments , chomping away on my popcorn:-) .
I got into this industry late following a long career as a cop . I was very lucky in that i had a friend who owned a flying school and gave me a job as an instructor . I enjoyed every second of it and have since moved into flying a larger twin on freight and ambulance runs. It pays bugger all forces me to live away from home . I fly in all weathers all conditions all by my lonesome 90% of the time and without any kind of auto's . This is good grass roots flying and i love every second of it . I would love to move into a tp or jet airline as it pays better and would nice to be part of a crew . If ever i get bored or lose interest I just need to think to myself that I could be driving around a town centre waiting to attend the next of societies O2 stealers who has decided to take drugs nick a car beat up his wife/ gf/ kids ( delete as appropriate) suddenly the job seems so much nicer.
We have a great job relish it
