OK here's my positive post on aviation;
Eight months ago I stopped flying due to a medical issue. I assumed I was done for good and got a job, still in aviaition, albeit sitting in a cubicle 10 hours a day, 4 days a week. In spite of the culture shock of working in an office, I enjoy the job because I work with a great group of pilots.
Now, I am getting a First Class back at a time when hiring is going gangbusters throughout the industry and I feel so lucky to be making a fresh start at such a great time. I cant wait until the next time I get to take off into a low overcast/ 1/2 sm vis only to find a deep indigo sky giving way to a spectacular sunrise a few thousand feet above. You never see that from a cubicle...
OK, back to being a cynical b*stard...
