Re: Airline
You are looking at 4 to 5 years at a minimum to get to major after spending a considerable amount of money for training. Pay at a major first year you could be close to a hundred k the first year. This is considering if all goes as planned. You are probably making North of 300k now. You will lose more than a million dollars in lost wages and never be able to make that up given your current salary. Picture your self in two years in Toronto as a Regional FO preflighting an airplane when it is 20 below making 40k and ask yourself, is that something that is really what you want to pursue? I never want to discourage some one chasing their dreams but that is a huge financial penalty and poor quality of life (although may be temporary) given your current situation.
