Wow, That was so well said. I hear that on the line myself all the time and it made me wonder why we sell ourselves so short. I've bought and sold (for a profit) two businesses in my short 8.5 years at Comair and enjoyed every bit of it. I am glad you pointed out a pilot's massive amount of talents to those who may feel "all I can do is fly." That thought process is not only wrong, it is very dangerous to your great earning potential through out your life. Most of a person's money will most likely be earned outside of this industry. I got started owning businesses through research of others who have done it. I hung around successful people (most of them not pilots). In short, every pilot at our level has a massive amout of talent outside the cockpit. Find yours!
