Does anyone have any experience of being made redundant as a pilot and what jobs did you go into or what advice do you give others?
Is there any ( I know someone clever will say McDonald’s) jobs or career where pilots skills are transferable or regarded as a positive that can be used to support a family?
I’m hoping not to have to use the advice but might be useful to work out a plan for those of us with long aviation careers and not much else.
There is ATC training where you work as a "sim-pilot". NATS/Country equivalent must be training for ATCs somewhere, and surely there a "sim-pilots" employed there to be a counter part in training.
Worth checking out.
