Long Term Prognosis
As a fifty something ex wannabe I find it sad to note that there is a great deal of dissatisfaction within this thread.
It seems to me that the burning desire "to fly" that must have motivated many of you has been overtaken by a deep rooted dissatisfaction with your chosen profession.
What happened to "flying for flying's sake".I understand that work place changes have denuded many of the ideals that would have prompted the original urge to choose flying as a career, but surely flying in itself must still be a great motivator.
Having worked alongside many of you during a long career spent
working for airlines in various ground jobs I have an understanding of the " working enviroment " that professional pilots have to live with, and I sympathise with the sometimes "cynical" emotions that come across.
As an ex wannabe, I still wish that I'd had the opportunity to fly professionly.(I was precluded by defective colour vision)

Your general sense of optimism is a great stimulus, and must be a great motivator for many.
Long may it continue.
