I went to work for UPS in 10 as a sorter then driver. I have been in feeders for 7 years (12 total with UPS). I did not think I would want to go back to flying. But now I think I do.
I have about 2750 total hours 1500 turbine no pic. I have not flown in years and wonder if I would have any shot if I regained currency and applied.
I make good money in feeders (tractor trailer) $135-$140,000. I work a lot but I am home nightly and have the weekends off.
The money would be better of course at the airline. I would have to commute.bBut I would still have more time off than I currently have.
Mostly thinking out loud here. Curious if I would even have a shot. Thanks for reading.
Man, you sound like the perfect candidate to get on with a regional, upgrade quickly and then apply to Purple or Brown or wherever you’d like, really.
