Long term goal is a legacy. I’m 45yo.
I’d like to avoid any contracts if I can. What is the best path for me at this point with the current status of the hiring trends?
Try to focus building the MEI or multi time until you can land a turbine gig. Apply anywhere that you think will even remotely be an ok fit for you.
Freight dog types (Fedex feeders, Ameriflight), BoutiqueAir type places will be in reach soon. Smaller fractionals as well like PlaneSense and Tradewinds are solid gigs too
Of course, if you aren't tied down, go to AK. Plenty of flying jobs and great living/experience. Good luck.
