Fools and Horses:

After 4 years of taking up space in college with no major prospects to support my intrepid aviation feats, since airline pilots were furloughed, I went to work for an insurance company. While there, I sat for the 10 Actuarial exams some 26 years ago and became enrolled as a FSA. Eventually I went out on my own and started my own actuarial consulting firm which designed retirement and insurance plans for corporation. Like you, and very smart of you may I add, I hedged my bets in case flying no longer wanted part of me.

I took advantages of the flexibility of owning my own business owner. During that time I flew of a various airlines, was a training captain on a private transport category jet, helped certify a few airlines, was a contract pilot, ferry pilot... you name it... and after 30 years I'm still flying.

I always wanted to fly in Europe so, I took a position contracting agency 6 month ago. I am on a "5 on 5 "off schedule. Having a great time... rolling through Europe on my days off.

Oh as for the F/As... beautiful from all over Europe... and the best part all, if we were in the US, they are all too young to is that the are all way to young to qualify for OASDI under the Social Security.
