Flying for a living again
 
After taking many years off I am lining up my ducks so I can fly jets again. I’m a 1500 hour CSEL, CMEL Instrument and CE500 rated pilot. I’m willing to be a road warrior, live in hotels, load and fly cargo, smile for the customers, carry bags, do what needs to be done to support a company who wants to hire a dedicated pilot. Ultimately I would like to fly worldwide cargo. I’m near LAX, LGB, SNA, VNY and all of Southern California.

Introduction
 
I am an FBI Agent and FBI Pilot-in-Command for FBI Aviation Operations. I have about 4,500 Hours, SE-ATP, ME Commercial. I will be eligible to retire from the FBI in about a year and am looking at potential flying careers after retirement. Would love to get to the major airlines one day, but have very little multi-engine time and will need to find a path for that.

Old dog chasing the stick
 
Hey all. I'm a 38 y/o who has spent the last 20 years managing supply chain and financial companies. I flew a lot back in high school (pre-9/11). Loved it. Sat in a flight simulator at a virtual reality store and the itch came back. Went up in a Piper Cherokee (low wing) and the addiction is strong, also the GPS technology feels like cheating.

So... I'm back to flying.

Back in to flying after a 8 year hiatus. Spent some time in the Army and built about 1500 hours. 45y.o. and retired after working in CT my last few years. Told about a pilot shortage so decided to get back into flying. Appreciate all the advice and information shared on this site. Hopefully I have a few cents I can offer as I pad the resume. Recently accepted a CJO at a regional.

In the middle of a career change
 
I'm 34 and have had the flying bug since age 4. Got my PPL after High School with Instrument, and Commercial SEL afterwards all through working at an airport and cleaning lots of airplanes and a helicopter or two. After college I decided to develop my backup career in accounting and realized I hated it. I'd rather do something I love so I'm all in for flying for a career and for fun as well. I'm sitting now with 552 hours and added my SES rating this year in hopes of being considered for some seaplane jobs. Next, I plan on getting my CFI and ME ratings. My current options are wide open and I'm seeking work. I am looking at everything from banner towing, to becoming a Flight Engineer. Any leads and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Mid-life career change
 
Hi, all!
Long time part 91/135 pilot. Kids are teens now and I am looking to expand into airlines. 7500 TT including 5000 turbine and 2500 TPIC. Excited to start something new!

Hey everyone,

Retired MIL but out of the cockpit for several years. Kids are all grown up so my hat is now in the ring! 4000 hrs, mostly E-2C and C-40A/B-737. Last MIL flight was 2009, and a little bit of tailwheel SEL over the last year or so. Looking forward to getting back in the game and I have apps submitted. Fingers crossed.

Good luck to all others that are pursuing the dream!
