Default Looking to Get Into the Industry?

As part of your decision making process, you might want to hear from some people who are looking to get OUT of the industry...

Conditions one wants when getting into the industry:
-wanting low paying.
-treated with disrespect and/or disregard to your QOL.
-being undercut by cheaper labor and getting furloughed.
-very long days at work.
Etc etc
If you said yes to any of these go and get your pilot liscense out of a cracker jack box and get in line.

mmaviator is spot on! This is exactly the way it works...

I'd like to add: get in now and you may make enough to survive, get in tomorrow expect to be furloughed.

Do you like being alone?
Do you spend at least 150 days away from home?
Make poor money?
Have ****ty hours?
Put up with the FAA?
Fly 10 million miles and only have a piece of paper to show for?


Become a professional pilot!
