The game has changed

When is a flying career just a job?

At my age it’s easy to sit back and reflect on the way things were with whimsical adoration and a failing memory.

But, as I look at the lot of an airline pilot in the 21st century it is a vastly different undertaking to when I started with stars in my eyes and a Chipmunk beneath my seat-pants. And I do not necessarily envy those plying the airways today.
