Taking aside the apparent assumption that there are CEOs everywhere with available roles that they wish could be filled by an ex-airline pilots, does this argument work the other way round then? You swap places with David Brent and after accruing some light industry knowledge and adding a little bit of polish, he can fly an airliner too?
Yeah... ridiculous isn't it? I agree with you that you have some great skills but I hate to break the news to you - there are
lots of people with those skills
already experienced in doing the roles that
you think you'll walk into. Those people have a 'type rating'. In this context, you have a frozen ATPL. So I wish you luck with but you must realise being a pilot / ex-pilot isn't going to get you further up the queue!
