I can't believe the comments I am reading on here. Honestly what planet do you guys live in?
Have you had a look at the real world outside of aviation? Ever spoke to an architect, lawyer or even better a plumber or builder. Do you realize the lack of jobs we are facing?
I speak for myself, and I can promise you there is nothing else I'd be able to do on even 1/4th of the salary. From what I read on here it seems like everyone can get another job lined up quickly and live a wounderful stable life. Lucky you. For the rest of us, toughen up and get on with it until you get a nice part time if that's what you want, or you're in for a tough surprise out there. Just sayin'.
