Future Pilots
I think anyone even considering a Professional Pilot career for the next 10years must need a brain transplant!
1000;s of experienced Capts and F/Os on the market with absolutely zero prospects of ever getting back in the Flt deck..that is the reality we face now.
I was lucky and retired from aviation as a A310 Cpt. and now run a business with my own Seneca aircraft. My son is a CPL/IR (FATPL-£100k in debt to me) and I advised him to look at the following options:
1. Fly pleasure flights from Lytham st. Annes(if he can get a job)
2. Drive a truck at Tesco deliveries.
3. Become a window cleaner.
He opted for the latter and now makes £1500 pw 6 day week with zero pressure and a quality lifestyle.
Not being negative, but there are many ways to make an honest living with a quality lifestyle beyond aviation. Just accept the Flt deck was just a dream.
Hope we all survive the present lockdown!....... .
