I could use it!

Airline #2 shut down in 2008, after being downgraded for 4 years, and a very positive, but insincere, suitor leading us to stick around. I was happy at this place all the same.

With the recession, and being out of work several times between contract work in 3 other counties, it's taken me a long time to get a respectable flying gig in the USA.

I instructed at two majors. The industry doesn't respect instructors. Not a lucrative position.

So, I'm flying again. Bottom of the list at 56. Based where I live. Happy about it.

I also have to plan to live until 95. Didn't think that was possible, but seeing my 88 y.o. father, former smoker, half a lung, still hanging on, I don't think 65 and out is going to work for me.

I could use it. I think I've put up with a enough sh!t from this industry.
