Quote: With a Dad whose a ual bus capt, they will go till close to 65 to try and make up for the lost pension and fact they havent moved up seniority wise in almost 10 years. If your young just tough out the nxt 4 years, and things will suddenly start moving fast, just build time, and hold tight, dont get married, and DONT HAVE A KID!
R- fyi, getting or being married and having children or not make very little to no difference in your career progress. If you have the right person by your side it even makes the journey better. As for kids..... being FURLOUGHED by a legacy carrier is a real possibility for any and every pilot out there...for me having kids while being furloughed has made all the difference in the world...actually forget about the flight deck 99% of the time and hang with my kids all day.....but you are right on the mark about the age 65 shizzle...socal.
