I would have qualified for food stamps and other assistance while flying as a first officer for a certain regional but my pesky self-respect, conscience and principles wouldn't allow me to; I preferred to get by on my savings, something you learn to accrue once you've been in this business awhile!

A job requiring special and sometimes unique skills in which pays less than a bus driver with no security and a future with the image of a mirage! Yes you will get many takers such as applicants willing to swim across shark infested waters waiting to see how many make it to the other side!
