If you are intending to fly professionally in the US.....Don't, the industry is tanking and it's only going to get worse.
Look, I'm really not trying to sound pessimistic but we have a perfect storm here in American aviation; the US dollar is tanking, the economy is in the $hitter and oil is at, what about $126 a barrel.
I have friends hired at United and NWA and they're all talking about furloughs numbering hundreds by the end of the year.
This is not the promised land as far as aviation is concerned..
