General question here that has probably been asked before... If you were to stop flying tomorrow whether by choice or otherwise, what new career would you pursue ??? Aviation advisor ??? Own company ???...

Piano player in a cat house would be nice but, sensible answers are more appreciated...

Cheers, VTA

Back to writing software, which is what I do when flying is quiet.

Can't play a piano unfortunately.

I'd end up playing the banjo in the dog house.

On the basis that my fiddle playing isn't up to either a cathouse or a doghouse and as my only other "professional" qualification is to be a truck driver, I'm afraid it'd be "On The Road Again" for me!

Whirls, tbc is a man of the world and has completed much research in the 'fluffers' industry. I believe he has the full collection of Wangito the Mexican Wonder Donkey videos!!

I make no comment on tbc's proclivities therefore but I've not heard of ladies requiring fluffing

Fluffing would involve nude erections, as opposed to New Directions...
