So basically I need to decide on rather or not I'm okay with living off crappy pay, possible furlough's, long exhausting schedules for the majority of my airline career? i'm not soo sure I can do that....how the hell does anyone live on 30K a year? It can be done i'm sure, but you'd have to sacrafice a lot...and for what! To be employed by an airline, making peanuts for pay, and praying every single day that you still have a job when you go to work? What posseses people to go into this profession with this much of a stagnant outlook?
What about airline pilots that transition into something else? Say....go to work at a regional for a year or two to build up the turbine time, would you have much luck being able to get on at a corporate job that way? I'm going to probably guess no, because so many pilots today are trying to get out of the airlines and into the corporate job so......competition baby!!
