I never would have left my former 121 Cargo gig, with weekends, XMAS off and 24/34 layovers, but the Great Recession killed that deal. After 2008, when my Wife’s career went vertical, there was no way that I would ever exceed her pay trajectory, so it made sense as a family to work a job with a schedule that was pretty much written in stone, so my Wife could work when she wants. This way, I get my flying fix while still supporting he career and I don’t feel like a kept man as much, LOL!
If you are at an airline, you have enough time to get on here.
First time poster with a question. I’m ATP rated, around 1700hrs, a degree if that counts, a spotless record and a solid resumé. My app has been on file for over a month with no response and I’ve tried reaching out without success. Any idea what the holdup might be? Thanks!
