I wasted my entire GI bill on flight training years ago. I am on furlough and haven't gotten any real Return of Investment with the pilot gig. Some have been more lucky. If I could do it all over again I would get into the medical field and then fly on the side for fun. Do some long term research and don't fall for the whole pilot shortage lie. It has been a marketing tool to get people to enroll in flight training for many decades now. Back in 1995 I was told there would be a huge shortage by the millennium, still hasn't happened. There just isn't a demand for pilots. Regionals will hire again but the pay and QOL is getting worse. Labor supply and demand will continue to drive all pilot wages down. JMHO.
