|  I must be crazy As a career changer with all the airline shutdowns and layoffs I must be crazy. I am still a few years away from being qualified for the regionals or freight work as I am taking the part 61 route with the local FBO and just getting ready to start my Instrument training. I just hope the economy and the airlines rebound. I just want to know are there any other possible career changers out there teetering on the fence as to rather or not to go for it?

| Junior Member  | Re: I must be crazy If you're crazy...welcome to the nuthouse. There are a lot of career changers on here who question ourselves. But I sleep easy knowing that the industry is cyclical. By the time you are ready to apply it could be a whole different game...good or bad. If you want to fly though, you've got to do it. So yeah, I teetered on the fence, but i hated my job (even though i still work part time). I'm much happier now that I've stopped teetering and made the decision to go after it. That being said, I'm glad I have a career in a different industry to fall back on should I ever need to. Call me overly optimistic, but people aren't going to stop flying altogether, and there will be work to be had. I see you're in UT, where are you doing your training?...just curious. |

| Re: I must be crazy I guess I would rather be crazy and spend time with other nuts than miserable and spend my day in a job I can’t stand. There must be satisfaction out of doing what you love even if at times it is a struggle to make all the pieces come together.
