If everyone was as special as you once were, then you'd not have been so special would you?
I've worked with rotary, FJ, transport and EW fleets. Each is different and each attracts a different sort of person, both to operate and support. It's like the RN, Army & RAF having different roles, cultures and therefore appeal to different people. We can't all be winged gods but, amazingly, not everyone wants the same thing.
