Can you tell us why you want to be a pilot, why are you considering it? What is so great about it that you're willing to leave a great career behind?Originally Posted by pilotdds
Wow, 33 year old dentist here. Own my own practice. Considering bringing on a partner to free up time to persue a career in aviation. Looking forward to seeing where this thread goes..
Posts like this are proof of why there is not and NEVER will be a pilot shortage. A dentist making the kind of money a regional FO can only dream about is willing to drop his excellent career to sit right seat in a CRJ. You're going to go from being your own boss and taking care of patients, sleeping in your own bed every night, to waking up at 5 am in a Holiday Inn in Milwaukee when its -5C outside with ice all over the wing.
