But...(sniffle, sniffle) ... but my adviser at Short Cut to Captain Aviation Institute said I could be in command of an A380 in six months, three if I paid for the Intercontinental Heavy Jet Course. IT'S NOT FAIR!
Ask them that at the interview, and I'm sure they will give all the time off you need

Actually, it's not unreasonable for those with established careers and practices to inquire about the prospect of adding professional aviation to their repertoire. The airlines are replete with those who handle two careers given the flexibility aviation can provide with sufficient seniority. The point of this thread to gauge how flexible schedules can be at the regional level to accomodate already existing practices and businesses.

What incredible wit and humor in these responses.

What, may I ask, is your "established career and practice"?

For the same reasons why everyone else has gone into the airlines - a love of flying. But I'm not naive. I started the thread because I know the first two-three years are grueling - but at some point with some seniority I know QOL improves. I'm just trying to gauge how good it can get once you get through the bad times to see if I can get to the point where I can manage both careers. I know some lawyers do fly for airlines.

If you "love flying". BUILD OR BUY AN AIRPLANE AND FLY IT! Join a flying club, etc.
I love driving my fast car, but that doesn't want to make me want to be a cab driver, sheesh!
One big problem is referring to a broken business model as "cyclic", it's not, it's broken.

So your looking to drop trips down to the min so you can fly and be a lawyer while there is people out there trying to get a job so they can make a career out of this. Go be a flight Instructor on the weekends.

If your a lawyer stay doing it... this isnt a hobby its a career. What your doing is the worst thing for this career because you would fly for 2$ an hour because you really dont care what you get paid.
