Clear Prop!!!
It's true isn't it....there really is no answer. I firmly believe it depends on so many things. Not least the right frame of mind.
To prove a point, I am still flying for (and intend to stay flying for) my current employer. I was however offered a chance to go for an interview with a REALLY well known UK jet operator this week at short notice and absolutely bombed out of the interview!! There was no way they would employ me.....and I think that is because I turned up without the POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE I spoke of a couple of days ago!! The fact is I had not applied for a job recently with them and it came out of the blue........so, another thing to remember guys, always be prepared!! I wasn't . Luckily I still have a very good flying job to go to, so I am not bothered ( and realistically I would have never left my firm voluntarily). But the fact is......keep current and KEEP POSITIVE!!
You never know when the phone will ring.
Good Luck to you all.
