I'm writing to saying goodbye...

You bailing on JC too?
Still here, though my engagement has honestly dropped a bit. Been a bit more of a lurker. But, nah... just aviation, at least as a career anyway. We'll see if I ever fly again, as my much needed aviation sabbatical continues. But IR training and my AMEL, we're the best parts of my primary training (to me). I absolutely hated Commercial, it was a HUGE 🥱. At some point, when I can afford it. I'd love to get more hours in a multi, just for the fun of it and eventually rent one solo. I love seeing all the Seminoles, from AeroGuard at KDVT fly over my house in the pattern. I absolutely love multi-engine GA planes. I think insurance mandates at least fifty hours PIC, to be able to rent a multi solo. I have one hour of PIC in a Seneca. Giggle. Gonna be a while at $500 an hour, and $75 an hour for a MEI in the right seat.
 
Even if you have decided this isn't a career path for you, I'd certainly encourage you to keep flying. I imagine you have the means to, and it sounds like the desire as well, maybe save doing a bunch of chandelles, or whatever the commercial involves these days. GA flying is a perfectly sufficient outlet for a lot of my friends who never wanted to do this professionally if it didn't involve afterburners. Not being at a 121 doesn't make you any less of a pilot. I imagine that it is a lot more fun and "free" in a lot of ways.
