I will agree with you on this. I too am looking to diversify. I am in the middle of "due diligence" on two prospective SB's. The reality is that one needs to make their bread and butter doing something else besides flying airplanes. One can hope that this point changes in this next contract. We all wish it would, but many have been waiting for around a decade for that to happen. I for one am at least looking at something I know I can make the income I need to give my family the life we want.
