Well, well, well...
Here I am perusing the Airline Pilot Central Forum after being out of the industry for 10 years. All of a sudden there's talk of a shortage of professional airline pilots. How exciting!!
Hmmm...Maybe I should leave my steady job with great pay, benefits and a fabulous retirement to return to the skies as a professional airline pilot. I have the ATP, type rating and a couple thousand hours of 121 flight time. I'd have a good shot!!
Let's see... $18,000/year (maybe), used and abused on Ready Reserve, Commute on my days off, fax a document to crew scheduling proving that my father-in-law died, pray daily not to hear the "F" word (furlough)...
Nevermind!
