It’s funny, if I had taken my first class date offer from PSA when I interviewed, I would have been in the very last class to flow. I didn’t take that class though and I have sort of been kicking myself the past couple years. Well now I’m glad I didn’t and I’m grateful to be where I’m at.

Ultimately we will all be just fine. It’s just a job and it’s just money. I’ve been poor before and I was raised by parents who grew up in poverty and worked hard to overcome it. “Money comes and money goes” is what my dad used to say. If you have family and you have a roof over your head with food in your belly that’s all that matters ultimately. And I’m sure very few of us who have been making 6-figure+ salaries the last 5+ years will suffer as bad as many in this economy. Flying will bounce back and there will be a need for pilots again. The next few years are going to be a lot of change and a lot of turmoil. But it will pass.
