That will get you working as a loan officer & earning income a lot faster than a Realtor.

Still no luck on any other sources of income

Fingers crossed that the FAA takes a chance on me.

Things not Looking up
Well, this month I received my second denial letter from the FAA.
It appears they had shipped off my package to the same
consultant as last year, and naturally, the said consultant took the
safe way out once again, even though I have surgeons and Drs stating
I am fine and they see no reason for me not to be in the cockpit.
This caps off the recent vote by my Union to not pursue any repairs
to the Onerous and Punitive LTD system it has in place. Thanks guys,
enjoy your big payday.

I do have the 5 point Vet pref included.
I am really surprised I have heard absolutely nothing from any of the three simulator firms at the Miami airport regarding employment as a Sim Instructor.
Applied to all three over a year ago now.

Just read through the thread. Wow that bites!
Given the tons of experience that you have you may want to consider becoming an adjunct professor at ERAU or at one of the many colleges or universities that offer aviation degree programs.
Good luck my man. All the best!
