Saw the downturn of the beginning of the 90's and the one on the 00's....., rug pulled from underneath several times in everything from corporate to charter to the airlines....., but somehow I always managed to land on my feet and keep providing for my family...., sure, many of those times I had to think creatively, in many cases go work abroad and everything else that we have learned to accept with this paid hobby of ours...., But overall I have manage to live a pretty good life with my license, managed to create a side business and enjoy myself. Not sure that I would have the satisfaction that I have had as a pilot with any o'l 9to5 really...!
