There is NO pilot shortage......
Labor supply and demand still shows there are plenty of pilots out there but it is on the up swing.

Just tell the hotel staff you want a single room. They'll give it to you if they have one. Worked for me.

Can you stay at home if you have a home in mem?

We had 2 people in our class that did that, no one seem to have a problem with it.

So you can't fly home (without paying for it) until you have passed your check ride??? What if your married with kids... are suppose to not see them for 4-6weeks while in training???

thats what i did, my wife flew out half way through training and we spent a couple days looking for houses in mem.

4-6 weeks..is NOT the end of the world... and YES i had kids ... and have been gone a hell of alot longer than that..... if its a deal breaker dont take the job.

Yep, it works for some and doesn't work for others.

Actually being gone 4-6 weeks without visiting my family is a deal breaker for me. I'm not going to leave them for that long just to make 19k for that job.

If I ever do decide to become an airline pilot I will most likely go with an airline that has training within a few hours drive along with living in domicile.

Thanks for the info.

Good for you! When on their deathbed, no one has ever said, "I wish I spent LESS time with my family."
