Spot on Variable. As a 89er, the last thing I wanted to do was create upheaval in the family, take kids out of school, leave aging parents, and try to find homes for the pets, to say nothing of selling or renting your house, and moving OS, with a family who wanted to do anything but. For some, they thrive on it, but for many its very traumatic, and trailing a pack of kids around the world, and a wife, who is homesick before you leave Sydney, is not much fun. To add to that we had a couple of close mates, top themselves, because it was a case of loss of job, wife, kids, home. I truly hope, this is not the lot of the next generation of pilots, once was enough.
