Very good experience, glad I took it. Second was after 9/11. Keep going on my ratings or accept recall (and subsequent second furlough 6 months later) and do the 'family thing'. I chose the family route, and I couldn't be happier.
Airplanes will always be there for me to fly, but my family is #1 right now.
So I have twice chosen not to be a pilot, and for me I wouldn't have it any other way. |
Ahem, you ARE a pilot, you just don't do it for a living. You will get more ratings.
For now you get paid with smiles.
