I too am ex-ansett and dearly miss flying however I agree with the Posts above. I would also love to fly again some day, however to say that the war needs to end so we can get on with our lives is quite sad.
Can you not get on with your life without flying? Is there nothing else in this world? There are thousands of people that have lost there dream job over the last 18 months and survived! There are FAR more important reasons for this war to end than for you to be able to move on (Innocent people's lives!!)....
Perhaps you should attempt to broaden your horizons, rather than counting on something that may never happen.
