What makes it even better is the people who think we can get jobs lined up for October. No one will hire you when you don't even know if you'll be available. No one will hire you when they know you will be recalled within two years. No regional is hiring. There are very few jobs available that pay better than a CFI. We will be hosed, and anyone convincing themselves otherwise is just trying to make themselves feel better about what they're about to do.
I know. I think to the bigger topic sometimes lack of empathy is a huge problem with society as a whole. Same as the young guys who were eyeing the triple from their 737 window on probation. Have empathy for the guys who’s career didn’t work out the way they planned.
