Heck no. Too much money for insurance and maintenance. I still have my Cessna 182. Cheap and easy.

Those psychiatric nerves are tricky.

Everything worked out fine, a bit of a learning curve, but fine. Be strong my friend !

I miss flying but I'm making more money in the management side. Money isn't everything, so I will work to get my medical back ... but I doubt I will go back to the pilot side. Just fly my Cessna for S&G. Or maybe post-maintenance flights & repositioning flights for the company helicopter.

I spoke to the people at
www.leftseat.com
They told me to expect the process to take 6 to 8 months. Time to gather documentation from all of the doctors that were involved in my care, and then processing time from the FAA side.
