Consider aviation safety, safety management, or similar. That's very relevant to many union and management jobs, and would be pretty interesting to me anyway.
With regards to the first paragraph, I find the business side to be incredibly interesting so that speaks to me and is probably a direction that I'd have interest in pursuing. I've heard of it being done in an instance or two, but I'm not sure if there are so many barriers to entry for a pilot that it would make that path a total gamble. Obviously, the outcome would be very much dependent on the individual but the question remains.
The other stuff you mentioned is also interesting and worth looking into. Thanks for the suggestion.
