Some will find it sad.
But I have to say I've never heard of someone asking if he could work as an airline pilot just for a summer. That's a new one.
Go to the home page of jetcareers.com and read about how things work. Then, read the "perspectives" links about how other guys have done it. You'll be able to answer a lot of your own questions that way.
Yeah I'm familiar with how things work. I've been working in the industry for about a year now. I've loaded and marshalled everything from 402s, CRJs, MD88s, A319s, and A321s. I've got 120TT and 8ME and have my Private Multi-Engine ride scheduled for tomorrow.....after 8.1hrs which is the lowest my CFI has ever seen someone do a Multi (VFR only or not). It's in the Twin Comanche...light twin with a Vmc of 78kts...
