I stopped drinking soda a long time ago. Now I can never go back. It is way too sweet to handle anymore. Diet just tastes like crap and causes cancer.

I agree, but sometimes soda is good with alcohol and just a splash.

Avbug, I never ever said I was going to give up flying, Hell No Never! Flying is the best dam Drug I ever Had.

You've have a lot of drugs then, have you?

This must not have been you, then...

OK, Well with 1 Flight in October and not even 1 ferry flight December it's been a total killer. I barely made my house payment this month so far no flights and 1 refund on a trip to India . Some low life CFI did it for expenses only. I Have enough equity if I sold my house cheap for quick sale (listed today) $220K to find some little sh!t hole some place in the Midwest that I can cash out and maybe get my instructor certificate and buy 3 or 4 more 150's in addition to the one I own or a reasonable multi and complete my single pilot 135 paperwork.

I already had my days of eating out of trash cans and sleeping on the streets not fun and I don't want my son to even have a small taste of that life! The last 11 years was a great run then the electronics industory took a shift, I got old, Industry went to off shore countries and well you know Sh!t happens! it's life? Murphy lives with me

Thanks for all for the great help, encouragement, job referrals, and advice everyone has given best $10.00 I have ever spent. I gave it an honest go and all in all it was a simi success but in reality will not be able to sustain my family for another year let alone the next 2 months. I figure if I get maybe 1 or 2 flights this month I will last another month if not Phones, Internet, & Electric are gone then I am gone!!!!

But if it's to be it up to me!! Right? At least I gave it all I got. I made it 1.5 years in an aviation business time really dose fly!

This may be the end...

I believe he was referring to the ferry pilot business, and not so much aviation in general.

Comments were made in other locations which enlightened the situation much more clearly. Locations from which he has since been removed.

Correct! Was a Thought!!!! I have pretty much given up domestic ferrying international only domestic ferrying is way to cutthroat.
