Strange Profit Nosedive
« on: November 28, 2010, 05:44:37 AM »
Doggonit!  I didn't want to be the first to comment on this one, but here goes:

I used to enjoy having a nice job, and I received a decent salary for it.

However, the owner of the company was in trouble and decided to sell the airplane I was flying and managing for him.  I decided to strike it out on my own and become self employed as a contract pilot.

THAT was when my profits took a Steep Nosedive!

What a bummer...

Everybody is hurting this year. I just got back from a helicopter meeting and it seems all the operators are in the same boat. Bad fireseason and not much other work out there....

Retrain and learn to fly a steam turbine or a nuclear reactor and you should all be ok...

Hate to rub it in, sorry.  :-\

Isn't a profit someone, who can foretell future events?
