It depends on how old you are. I lost my job the end of March and turned 65 in May. I’m leaving aviation because I don’t want to live the lifestyle a lot of part 135 pilots live. I’ve flown cargo, charter and air ambulance. Almost all my night flight time has involved staying up all night. I no longer want to stay up all night. My charter job had 4 hard days off a month and a half hour call out on duty days. If I was twenty years younger I would apply at Skywest or Horizon.
