Superpilot - you seem like an intelligent guy. I cannot believe the early start to your career path is any surprise to you. You do not need me to tell you that there are countless applicants for a handful of jobs in the UK. Anyone earning the kind of money you were, in my judgement, would have been very ill-advised to commence commercial aviation training. You were clearly in a senior position, and you have had to face the difficulty of going back to being a very junior individual under the control of a difficult boss. Whether you are not easy to work with, or whether it is just the people you fly with, I really do not know. I genuinely wish you well, but you may indeed be advised to go back to your previous career. It will be a very long time indeed, if ever, before you earn that sort of money in today's aviation industry.
