The stench of desperation..

..in the aviation industry is rather strong. Is it getting anyone else down? The rampant competition for even the ****ty jobs; the sweaty palmed, wide eyed intensity of concentration given to any whiff of information regarding potential employment?

Not to mention the trails of broken dreams, homes, relationships and the many many bank accounts gone so far that just being back to zero is nary a possibility without a lottery win.

Still, I guess we'll all keep truckin', what else is there to do...

Wheeee.

so true, your post is so true. i recognise myself in this sentence:

Show me a sector of the economy that can't be described as such. Congratulations, you've noticed that you're just like 700 million other people in Europe and North America.

Well my bank account has barely hit zero all year and I think it only hit a thousand plus once this year. It's got so that a mere €500 overdraft feels like I'm quids in. Most of the time it's banging against the limit.

And now I have to pay my taxes at the end of the month because I'm self employed

Oh and next year, I will be largely replaced by unpaid pilots.

But I only do it for the glamour, if it wasn't for the glamour I wouldn't bother.
