Sorry for the misunderstanding. I love aviation but honestly do not have much to offer other than that LSA seems cool. I don't believe that GA is going to be around in any meaningful way for the average guy in 20 years. I do not feel that airline flying has much of a future other than it will be easier to get a job doing whatever you want because the wages will drive away prospective pilots.

Things are changing rapidly. An airline career as I grew up with is going away (gone). I personally do not have any friends who after 20 years of effort are better off because of aviation. A few are still employed as pilots however a few others are dead now because of it too. Just about everyone who I maintain regular contact with is currently facing a furlough, seat loss or shutdown currently.

It isn't coming back either. we still haven't recovered yet from 9-11 and here we go again. As you know I was forced out of the industry five years ago and in that time I have discovered to my surprise that the outside world, in general, has a much better deal. I am on the sidelines with my rose colored glasses removed and offer a perspective that bridges both worlds. I just do not believe that the profession offers enough to be worth the price of entry anymore.
