Have you considered applying at airlines for an accounting related job? Obviously, some of them need accounting help!
Seriously, I have met several people who left the flight side and moved to the corporate office. Airlines and other aviation businesses might be more willing to give you a shot. Then you might still have some limited travel benefits...
By the way, I just noticed that we are answering each other's different threads about career change. I'm trying to get out of corporate, and you might be trying to get out of airline flying. I hope we both find what we are looking for. Best of luck.
