I think I'd get into the adult entertainment business, I hear you're home every night.

Honestly, think about moving somewhere warmer and check out the corporate side of things...........

When my "regional" went out of business, guys did lots of things you thought they wouldn't do.

Everybody can bash Gulstream. But THREE of them went there as off the street CA's. Bear in mind, this was 2005-2006, and some places were hiring that are not now.

Anyway, 1 ended up going from GS to flying 74's on a contract gig after getting his PIC. The two others ended up getting the PIC and are now at Southwest. 1 of those 2 had and offer at FedEx as well.

Consider getting your ATP if you don't already, apply at Netjets if you have the total time.

Well those are some interesting responses. I would look at other regionals and the corporate side. I know flexjet and netjets are both hiring, as is continental and frontier. Personally though I want the 1000TJPIC to "check the box" and be "competitive" everywhere.

I would be a stripper. They don't claim their earnings.

Porn Star! LOL!

Seriously, find a corporate job or a street CA position.

If SkyWest tanks, the whole industry is likely hurting.

I'd find a new place of employment, most likely not in the airline biz.

If you do claim your earnings, don't forget to write off the pole dancing lessons!
