I thought flight crew was the weak link. I was wrong. It’s ATC. TO MANY SHARED SURFACES. As atc gets sick and shuts down the airspace will shutdown.

Lets ALL agree this really sucks. Looking at April schedule.... JC
I was 31 in ‘01 too. Was about to land in a Saab 340. And then took years for me to get back. If you’re in this gig because you LOVE flying you’ll be ok. It’ll come back. If you saved and/or have a successful spouse your fine. You’ll know good times again. If you’re here for the money then good f’ing riddens. You should’a picked law school.
For young folks still wanting in, do what I did in 92... Call a military officer recruiter. Many can commission you into a flight program. Unless that’s too hard for you (see last quote above).

If I was younger, I'd join the Air Force, actually I would've done it long time ago, but now it's too late for that.
I expect to make "big" money at some point? sure, otherwise what's the point. Once I buy a house for my parents, I can live a really simple life with a decent salary. But right now I sure have to pay bills, and I'm single, so just my income. But like me, a few million people out there so it is what it is.

For someone who’s 37 and was about to start flight training, is my possibility of flying and making a decent living gone. Say this last at least a year or two. I’d be 40-43 trying to get on a regional, giving me say 20 years left. From your insiders perspective should I give up the dream or start flight training, build my hours and see where everything is in the next 3 years.
