Your timing is perfect, when you acquire the college degree, the license, the experience; the current hiring boom will be winding down and you'll be on the leading edge of the next decade of stagnation--the '70s, then the 00's, next up the late '20s to '30s. That's a feature, not a bug, in any seniority-based system. My father was right--being an airline pilot is a lot about luck like being a pro ball player.

Thanks a lot galaxy flyer. What is a line boy and what licenses do you need to be one?
