I never got into airlines precisely because of APC. The career sounded like a risky long haul to anything decent, with risks being the salient factor. I had a better option available to me which was aircraft engineering, and I turned that into the closest thing to a flying job I could manage. I got into flight testing in 2008 working on business jets. It's a fairly satisfying gig, but I am not going to pretend that I fly very much. However when I fly it is high quality action in terms of the things that make flying worthwhile. So I feel I struck a fairly good deal considering the options. The only way I would consider regrouping for the airlines at this point would be if a heck of an internal recommendation materialized, but that is not very likely.
