I was already giving 100% didn't want to give 120% to the aviation gods and still get back only 20%. |
I think this illustrates an important point. No matter who you are, how good of a pilot you are, etc, it always comes down to lady luck sometimes if you get that golden job or not.
It also illustrates the fact that no matter who you work for and how good a job it is, you could lose it all one day.
The landscape in the aviation industry is quite different then what it was back then IMO. It sounds like the years 2001-20?? were like the years you were in this industry. I think we can all learn a lot here.
