even better news you can make absolutely nothing in the way of earnings. Actually, even better still, you can pay for the priviledge of flying.........
this career is all jeffed up.
Go on this website and look at the retirement numbers starting in about 2-3 years. When 700 guys leave off the top at any legacy, it creates huge movement within the ranks, and huge hiring. I don't think fewer people are flying these days, it will only increase. Try not to stress out too much. This last decade was unprecedented. First 9-11, then bankruptcies, then age 65 change. Good changes for us coming up are the new rest/fatigue rules, and hiring minimums that start in a couple years.
