GR, right? Good dude, met him a handful of times before I left AWAC.

APC member 'Huck' is a FDX pilot and attorney who has passed the bar exam.

I know at least half-dozen pilots pursuing various graduate degrees right now, not including my own pursuit of a MBA.

Is it common? No, probably not...but its not exactly rare, either.

Here is the sad part...20yrs in aviation, I'm sitting furloughed...trying to decide between regional#1 or regional#2...uhmm let's see...#1 $20k/yr, and #2 $21k/yr......and my wife hands me an ad in the local paper for an ultrasound specialist, "will pay for training- 6 months to get your certificate...pay: 40-70,000/year." ***!

An 18yr old high school grad with a 6 month community college certificate can smear gooey ****t on an over stuffed belly with oversized stretch marks and earn 40-70,000/year. While an airline pilot starts at $20,000/yr with all string attached.

What happened here? how did we get here? ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

So why aren't you doing it then? Or is that the answer to your question?

because it would be a real job, and not as fun as flying duh. I am not sure how you got here, and can not find something better. Do you live in JAX and are on furlough from EGL?

your missing the point.
