For the third time in 50 years of flying, I moved back into a management/command position of a flying operation and it is ten times more interesting, challenging. The ability to make a difference, a positive one, on my crews is far more exciting than droning for hours thru the dark.

Thanks for the personal advice Galaxy Flyer, I'm aware of that. I've sat at desks, given seminars through college, had $70,000 job offers after Boeing internships.. And flew every single day after a 10 hour workday because I loved it. I'm simply saying I'm going through my dedication and commitment to flying and entering the industry KNOWING what possibilities both good and bad lie ahead. I've been considering them since I was 6 years old.
