shon7,. .. .I still really enjoy flying after a career of 26 years. (18 of those were spent as an F/E, and I had an absolutely fantastic time in that job!). .. .I whinge with the best of them about the usual subjects, (management prats etc.) but I still really enjoy my job and honestly wouldn't chose a different path given my time again. I have been very, very lucky despite finding myself on the scarebus with only 5 years to go.. .. .I wish you all the best if you choose this as a career and hope that you will still find it a thrill flying a visual approach into some airport in 25 years time. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> . .. .Regards. .Exeng
