Left the desk job in June 2001 after 2.5 years of flying part-time, getting as far towards the frozen ATPL as I could while still working.. .. .Did the CPL and IR full time over the summer of 2001. I have very fond memories of those times.. .. .Passed my IR (first time!) on Sepetmeber 9th and got it issued on September 12th.. .. .Did an MCC then started an Instructors Rating but ran out of money half way through. It's academic anyway, as instructors jobs are nigh-impossible to get at the moment.. .. .I'm now back in a desk job waiting for things to improve.. .. .My moral? Never burn bridges, stay realistic and never say never
Bills don't pay themselves..... .. .cheers!. .foggy.
