Where should I look? What are my chances?
I am a Commercial Pilot ASEL, AMEL, Instrument & Glider
CFI, CFII, MEI & Ground instructor
Over 4,600 TT
Close to 1000 ME (Twin Commander, Seneca, Baron, Seminole)
Few hours of turbine (Conquest I, King Air 90)
No Part 121/135 experience
The problem is that over 90% of this flying was done between 1996-2003. I flew part time (a few times a month average) between 2003-2017 and have not flown since.
Where should I look?
Currently making six figures, but could support my family on 55-60K first year. Not against instruction, but can't do it for peanuts.
(BTW, I am 46 year old male.)
Thank you all for your insights!
If you are current and can live in base at a regional do it. In a couple of years at the outside you could go to a ULCC. At present, you)d upgrade quicker there and become senior quicker and probably end up with as much lifetime income as waiting amp other 2-3 years for a top tier major.
