I'm ex-pusser's and got into the airlines during the 'heyday' of the profession. The job is now screwed, and this is not even in Australia, which is in a very bad way. I look forward soon to no more crappy rosters, cheap, noisy hotels, inexperienced newbies lining up to join on ever decreasing conditions, night flights and aggressive nickel and diming managers focussed only on their bonuses.
Think about another career path and maybe flying as a hobby. RAA is very affordable, with modern technology and efficient aircraft.
I would't have swapped my military flying for anything; the only reason I got out was the looming desk.
