This is just in case something happens in training or I discover that this really isn't for me (but highly doubt it).
Is this option legally possible? Do I have to disclose this to the airline?
Appreciate the insight.
Thanks!
I am in your situation and will basically be doing the same thing. I have 18 weeks of vacation to burn and I plan on using as much as needed to make sure I get through training. I've been out of 121 flying for 13 years and, although I'm fully commited to returning, I have no delusions that it will be a cake walk to get back in.
