if one can clear 100k at a regional then it’s not a bad gig. Dude had to live through the multiple upsets in the aviation industry. Hopefully we all can fare as well as him owning property and having long term stability. Majors are not everyone’s end goal

get (or keep) a real job and save the money - then start flying when the industry is back online in a year plus. That way you’ll have options when the next downturn arrives. Like any airplane, this business goes up, and it comes down - the main thing is to be good at the landings.

The first part of your first sentence is gonna be very tough for a lot of folks for a while. Sure, Amazon is hiring 100,000 people at, what, $15 or $20/hr? That's about it these days.

But yes. Career and income diversification is essential. Especially in this business.

Sure I’ll share with you BusBoy! If you ever start making money spend it wisely. Don’t go out and buy a Tesla and plaster your pic all over social media wearing your pilot uniform acting like a big shot. My vacation home is paid for is your apartment? This is the big shocker, it’s not everyone’s goal to work for mainline!
When did I make a lateral move? Choose your answer wisely so you don’t look stupid..

Calm down, dude. It's great your vacation home is paid for. Well done. But in my experience, those who shout the loudest about their paid-for homes and comfortable lifestyles, are usually the ones who are one paycheck away from missing rent. Those who are financially secure do not generally find themselves compelled to shout about their wealth on an anonymous online forum.

Busboy needed a little guidance. He called me out. And your experience is wrong in this case I don’t pay rent..What lateral move did I make?

Not saying you pay rent. But seriously man, maybe post *before* the third Glenlivet of the evening?

Why don't you post where you're at now and where you came from? Again, "26 years in the industry" and still at a regional without any context paints a pretty good picture!
