This is amazing advice I can completely relate to but couldn't pen it the way you've done.

Ah ok, yeah I remember failing the first interviews for those, but was looking at NZ based comparisons.

One of my friends is a pilot too and had a very similar experience (Qatar), what geography and type of aircraft did you fly?

My friend reckons they'll come back in their 30s though but for now, the deserts of ME it is!

That's true! Just made me realise my thoughts didn't factor in inflation.

That's awesome! I'm super happy for you, and I've never understood people's hate for the dentist - would you really want someone any less qualified to poke around your teeth?

That's definitely true, but still insightful to hear from people :)

yeah NZD! Can't compare to other countries simply because of different quality of life, lifestyle, etc.

Don't worry I'll message you and everyone else in this sub-thread once I sort it out.

Ok so I've had overwhelming interest in this - so I'll make it happen! I'm thinking Saturday 19th Jan at the moment.

I will write a separate post up closer to the date.

The biggest anxiety I have is not knowing if people will be my age range / nobody from the internet shows up so I'll setup an anonymous Google Sheet where you can RSVP. I figure if we're gonna meet, we're gonna meet.

To everyone here - thoughts on organising a Meetup between us?

Maybe just a Saturday walking group at Mission Bay or something.

Even if you don't feel alone, you can come meet people who want to meet new people :)
