So your looking to drop trips down to the min so you can fly and be a lawyer while there is people out there trying to get a job so they can make a career out of this. Go be a flight Instructor on the weekends.
My interest in having two careers will have no effect on the poor wages paid to regional pilots now. Supply and demand dictates that. Believe me, i agree it's sad that the only way I could even consider being a regional FO is because I have another career. But if you read the threads on this website, EVERY seasoned airline pilot urges young pilots to have a second/backup career. I just did it backwards - got the first career established before professional aviation.
