I'll add this as well. Try and look at this as you would your 401K. You invest in the long term, find solid companies to invest in. You don't day trade a retirement account you don't even let a bad day make you check your account because you know you're in for decades not weeks. You younger guys have to remember this. The hiring boom at the legacy carriers is now upon us. BUT, there are a solid decades amount of pilots ahead you with a lot more experience. Some may not be applying ( good for us) some are not hireable ( too old, poor 121 records) but a large number of us are. If you are just coming off your CFI and think at 2500 tt and just crossed that 1000 pic is going to make your phone ring, well you're going to be sorely mistaken.
