For new people entering this career, I give words of encouragement. Keep focused on your goal and learn something from the crusty old guys. Be financially responsible, live below your means, don't be entitled or arrogant, have backup plans and all that other good stuff. For the crusty old guys, don't be richards, don't forget where you came from, be good mentors, but perhaps most importantly DON'T get married, or at least be damn sure you choose the RIGHT one the first time.

I'd rather be a regional CA on his one and only marriage, than a WB mainline CA who's on his 2nd or 3rd one!

Anyone having any luck? I can’t even get an interview for a flight school scheduling job, and I spent 4-5 years as a squadron and air wing schedules officer.
Might have to get my foot in the door scrubbing ****ters, and work my way up.
