I was furloughed July1st, it took several months, and just got hired at Mesaba. Luckily they were hiring, but looks like it is hard to get an interview right now with so many guys searching for jobs. Back to the 121 training for the second time in a year. My advise is to get a wife that makes decent money, cause this career does not pay enough starting off. I wish I had another degree to fall back on other then aviation. The medical field is the way to go right now.

Thinking about going into Aviation Law, after 3 yrs of school (which is looking like how long it's going to take for the airlines to get back on their feet anyway) you can get a job making $50,000 then after about 1 1/2 to 2 years be on your way to making $100,000 (average) a year. Seems a little better than getting out of school and being below the povertly level for 7 yrs after graduating. Then once making a nice chunk of change you can buy you own plane and fly wherever you want. Sounds good to me!

I was also denied when i applied since they said i didn't make enough money in FL last year. But once they contacted the state my airline is based out of, and got my pay from there, i was approved. Just got my first check a few days ago.
