There are alot of senior guys who have 65 creeping up on them (about 15) which when you only have about 90 pilots is a decent amount of movement, but there is also no growth at the moment.
take everything in this industry with a grain of salt, things change by the minute in aviation. It is a great adventure if you decide to pursue it.
It would be nice to get out of Alaska and be based down south. I have almost 3 years at a 121 outfit and a few hundred multi turbine PIC hrs. Do you think another ground school will be put together in the next month or so?
