It seems as though I hear promising news about the industry, there is more news to counter it. For example, 1/2 Continental's pilot's will retire in the next ten years, but there are all the furloughed pilots waiting.
Question: how long can the pilots be on furlough before they are considered by companies to be obsolete, or does that happen? Wouldn't they have to keep their skills up?
Working while getting the rating is definately the safest way to go. It took alot of commiittment to teach school and stretch training out for 4 years. This industry is so critical for timing. I hope I get in at the right time. Of course, no one knows for sure when that is.
Of course my flight school says the time is now, but they stand to make 45k for all my training.
