After years of applying...i finally got called for a railroad interview. I hope it pans out. Im currently in training at a 121 regional about week 5. Starting sims after a short break. I have to say im not enjoying myself. My entire background was bush flying professionally prior to this.....I've found the adjustment to "normal" flying very difficult.......short of going back to Alaska.....i would love to work on the railroad and just be active in general aviation. If it doesn't work out with a job offer.....I'm going to go back to bush flying....probably in Africa this go around. Any other rail or bush guys on here?

Dont feel bad.....I'm currently in 121 training and am struggling. I was a bush pilot in Alaska for several years 135. This stuff is so different.....i believe there is a certain type of flying for everyone. I don't enjoy this rule infested procedure garbage. Dont give up.....maybe try something else. Like flying dusters.....bush flying...or instructing. After flying outside the box for so long and up north....ive had a horrible time adjusting to the correct way of flying again. Everyone has their challenges to overcome.

Finally out....lol after ten years of applying....and trying and repeating again....finally got a government job with the state working in the department of transportation. Gonna love that pension.

Nope!! Lol I got out. Going to work for a class I freight railroad as a conductor.....better pay by far and a retirement pension. I'm currently instructing at a regional with my last day the end of February. I've never been so happy. I'll fly for fun and y'all can have this profession.
