But who knows, there may actually really be a pilot shortage soon. If you were to ask me if I would do anything differently. One thing would be to major in a subject unrelated to aviation. And area that I really enjoyed and is a trade skill. So I could still provide for my family if something happened to my flying.
Yes I have. Continental FO when I was on my way to puerto rico. (This was 4/5 years ago) I hope to major in business management or something related in business as a Plan B. I also have a intership right now at my friends body shop; Plan C, go to trade school like you said. (autos)
