ATP
5000TT
4300 Multi
4500 XC
3700 Turbine in four type aircraft. One type rating.
300 IMC
Turned down by a regional in 2010 with those times.
It's got nothing to do with not willing. Like everyone already knows, I can't support my family flying airplanes unless I got on with a LLC / Major / Legacy. Lack of currency and turbine PIC would likely prevent that, so I'll stay here until a recall comes, then I'll have another career choice to make.
The 65K I make here with a good 401K match, hanging out with my son every day, 4 weeks PTO / year along with what I have already banked, paid holidays.... You get the picture. The grass isn't always greener outside of flying, but it certainly doesn't get any worse.
