Seriously if you hate this place and this outfit so much just leave. Living longer and happier trumps staying in a job and place you obviously loath, while making yourself and everyone else miserable.
Back onto the subject. I think the average pilot really have no transferable skills unless one has some sort of business on the side or a skill that is kept current. Just a quick browse on any jobs website will show everything out there require background “relevant” experience. A degree from 20 years ago is not worth much nowadays. Whatever this COVID outcome is, I for one will not be complacent anymore and find myself an area of interest outside of aviation and keep learning.
