But in the end I hope by taking out 250 hour wonder pilots from right seat jobs we will see some pay changes and a little more respect. A strike or two here or there after pilots take any more concessions would be nice too, cause now theres not someone chomping at the bit with a wet CMEL for this job.
Last year, this time, I was at 275 hours. Since then, Ive run around the country, live in four states, had a company fold up on me, and now make just enough to pay rent and bills. Just passed 900 last month. Not at a 121 or 135 operation yet, but still working at it.
Ladies and gentlemen, you either want it or you dont. So suck it up and GSD
Well said. I think you have the right attitude to succeed in this business and I am pretty sure you will be flying part 121 sooner than you think possible. Actually you are in a great position to benefit when hiring resumes and age 65 crowd starts to retire in large numbers in 2012. Just make sure you pick the right one as work rules affect greatly your pay and QOL.
