Like you I was an Alaskan bush pilot. A flight instructor. I flew smoke jumpers (CASA 212) and other support aircraft on contract to the forest service. I was a corporate, charter and med-evac learjet pilot. I was a bored and broke regional guy. ANd finally a laid off LCC first officer. My only crime was that my company did not make it, my daddy did not work for a legacy and I had a family to support.
I filled out the same applications as everyone else. Went to the same Air Inc. job conventions. I pursued every job lead and contact I could. To my own satisfaction I did everything in my power short of abandoning my wife and children to make this dream happen.
