Introduction
Hello Everyone,
I started out in aviation as a flight instructor many years ago. Life throws you curve balls and I was in and out of instructing the last few decades. During my CFI refresher I would ask the airline pilots if now was a good time to fly. They would aleays respond “Not right now”. I stopped asking the question over the years, then they called me and asked if I was flying, I said no, and they said to check it out the shortage is real this time. That was two years ago. I decided to instruct for an academy and became a check instructor and MEI for them. Just went over 1500 hours and being military I decided during the slow down in flying from COVID, that I would use my GI Bill and get my ATP certificate. I did in an Airbus 320. Just accepted a CJO with SkyWest flying the CRJ and a Sep. class date.

Intro
Hello all.
I am an Aviation Student at a major 141 school in the Midwest, soon to be PPL complete and starting IFR this fall looking to plot out my future.
I am especially interested in 121 Cargo, and would like to eventually make my way to the left seat of a Brown or Purple jet, and I am curious what is the best path to get there-or to the next best thing.

Another military pilot here looking to explore the civilian flying world. Not terribly interested in the majors other than allegiant. Looking to be home as much as possible. Looking forward to learning from you all.
