The 41 year old mil guy who dipped his toe, got burnt and then went back to service.....or onto bigger and better things.
The 50 year old that has just 'had enough' after finally leaving a regional only to be the first to be furloughed in his new major gig.
The 55 year old who convinced his wife it was a great idea to leave his well paying job as an accountant to go to a regional to chase his dream........only to be furloughed.....
The 62 year old who is offered an early out....
Those demographics all add up.
if there is one thing about this industry, it’s that a “pilot shortage” is just around the corner until whatever black swan of the decade stops it.
