That's always been the case, you should definitely like to fly. I always wanted to.

But my decision to fly professionally (vs other careers) was based on economic and lifestyle factors, and I had to do some math to help quantify and visualize the road ahead. You gotta use head as well as your heart.

Despite all the ups and downs my original math ultimately worked out pretty well, except for five years for age 65 and a few more for the 08 recession.
