Looking for a non flying position in ATL
Hello, just checking to see if anyone knows of any non flying aviation positions in the Atlanta area. I about 30 miles NW of Atlanta and currently out on medical leave due to a stroke back in April. I have recovered fully, but have to wait for the FAA to review my case before I can return to a flying position. If anyone knows of a someone looking, please let me know. Thanks for your help.

I am a commercial SEL MEL instrument pilot, flew pipeline for 4 years and was training for a CRJ pilot position at ExpressJet when this occurred. I hope to return to training once I am cleared by the FAA, but from what I have been told that can be up to a two year waiting period to make sure there are no reoccurrences. ExpressJet has been wonderful in helping me while I have been out on medical leave and working with my sim partner to getting him through the rest of his training. I am grateful to all our people and the FlightSafety personnel who helped get me medical attention that night and would recommend them to anyone looking to be a pilot. I am working with ExpressJet to find another position that I can work in, until I can return to a flying position, but it never hurt to network with other pilots too.

What about working as dispatcher for Express Jet or other company until you get your medical back.... keeps you in the loop and its a paycheck.
Not be negative but what your plan if you cant get a medical ? FSI in ATL might be a good option and you wont be living on ramen noodles. Best of luck and hopefully a speedy recovery
