You are probably right and when I started this whole thing, my plan was to get hired at Netjets or somewhere similar. A few months later, everything went to hell and my plans were screwed. 3 years later and things are only slightly better. I may be back to flying if things go well but I'm done settling for the possibility of an ok future. When I was sleeping on an air mattress in a room with a 45 year old man in his tighty whities who has kids in high school that he rarely sees and who was just furloughed from a good job to come back to fly at Great Lakes, I pretty much decided the future instability was not gonna work for me. We'll see though. Good luck to you, glad you found something that works for you!
