When did you lose "The Itch"
The date where we last touched the controls for a paycheck is probably a date that is engraved in the back of our minds.
After we walked away, there is that yearning to get back into a plane in someway or some form. That is what I'm refering to as "the itch".
So the poll today is when it is you lost "the itch" and just stopped caring about wanting to fly for a paycheck.
Personally, it took about four months. I did wrestle with getting a part time CFI job, but the value of off time from my primary job was greater than flying a 172 for a couple hours a week.
