My new-hire sim partner has an MBA. Just started at SWA a couple months ago. We also have a lawyer or two I have flown with. One is a specialist in aviation law and earned is fortune as a lawyer before entering the 121 world. He now works with our ALPA MEC and has been a strong advocate for the pilots at my company.
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!
