Controller to Pilot
Curious to see if anyone on here has made the jump from controller to pilot. Got my instrument rating a few years ago and then became a controller for financial reasons. The job has its perks but management and the forced OT staffing levels are pretty terrible.
•grossed ~150k this year (probably 175k next year with same OT)Curious to see if anyone on here has made the jump from controller to pilot.

•400 hours of OT worked this year, mostly forced

• short every day causing long TOP
Just curious if the grass really is greener.
