]]> Comment on Is there really going to be a pilot shortage? by pilotp http://www.planeconversations.com/2010/05/24/is-there-really-going-to-be-a-pilot-shortage/comment-page-1/#comment-11105 pilotp Wed, 22 Feb 2012 05:43:44 +0000 http://www.planeconversations.com/?p=4075#comment-11105 10 yrs Navy, 15 yrs w my airline and I agree w my fellow major airline bretheren: wished I'd gone to Med , Law, or MBA school instead. There is a. thin line of pilot civility and professionalism holding the US air travel system together and it won't take much to see it crumble. I'd be gone tomorrow if not for my responsibility to my family. In a cruel twist of ironic fate, if you read Sullenberger's book (Highest Calling), you learn that near disaster was the best thing that could have happened to him. The well deserved fame it brought him probably was the only thing that saved him from complete financial ruin. 10 yrs Navy, 15 yrs w my airline and I agree w my fellow major airline bretheren: wished I’d gone to Med , Law, or MBA school instead.

It's hard to see when every pilot friend of mine has a job and isn't even looking for one. Sure, we want a better company but who says that one is better. I've been flying for the Air Force Reserves for 28 years and the airlines for 18 years and still don't see a shortage. Maybe if you want to go live overseas and work for crap wages there's a shortage. When a family member asked me how to become a pilot, I said spend your money on anything but aviation. I have been furloughed six times and worked for six airlines. Family life, what's that. Wife, box checked a couple of times. It goes on and on. Don't get me wrong, I've travelled the entire globe numerious time. Seen great places and some not so great countries. Would I recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a weathly family to pay for all the cost, that would be no !!. Commuter pilots get screwed on pay and work rules. Major airlines have taken hugh pay cuts. Become a lawyer, then a politician. That seems be worth the way to go. You can use the law for your personal gain then become a congressman and make your own laws. If you younger then 30 and are thinking about becominng a professional pilot, STOP, and do something different. I hope there will be a pilot shortage in the USA. Then maybe pilots will get the respect they deserve. Sorry if I am sounding negitive but it just been frustrating in this business and I still have 14 years to go.
