Hello everyone! I've just been released from prison and would like to be an airline pilot. I heard with the great pilot shortage it was easy to get a job so here I am!

Does having a CFI ticket help out in getting a major airline job if you were a military IP?

Hi Everyone,
I have 5000 Hours and I Flew for a cargo company for 10 years then when market went south lost my job in 2009, I refused to fly for 14000/year pay
I chose to just work ANYWHERE but regional
I Refused to pay for training ( even if I will never fly again) I will not do it
I refused to pay for my own hotel during training ( with no pay during training either)
Now with what's going on with the Regional now I was wondering if it will get better?
we have to wait and see what other games they might play? Like parking planes etc.....

I am an IT professional for a company that is struggling to meet payrolls. We are a defence contractor and sequestration has hit us very hard. I live in central NJ and am aware of several banner towing companies that service the shore. The temptation to get a tail wheel rating and earn money on weekends and summer is strong
