I was at the FAPA Job Fair in Orlando in Nov 2012. There was a guy there in his late 50's early 60's, a former Comair CA with 34,000 Hrs.

Wow.... 34,000+ hrs.. And he was looking for a job..

Now I don't know what his personal circumstances may have been but No matter how bad the last decade or 2 may have been, Do you think that he never got a chance to get to a more stable major job in those 34000 hrs....??

So, to the OP, do you want to be like that guy 30, 35, 40 yrs later....?
