Description
Summary:With every day, more individual stories of hardship come to light and a satisfying career to date is little consolation as this dreadful narrative develops. But there is another group of people for whom the adversity is just as real, even while their aviation aspirations remain unfulfilled. The next generation of professional pilots, those who have invested heavily in their training in the hope of gaining airline employment, are questioning their futures and wondering whether they should stay the course or bail out now. Here, Lambeth gives advice to pilots questioning their career path at a time when they are all susceptible to getting caught up in the moment.
