The reason why most pilots who are temporarily out of flying end up in less-than-prestigious jobs with a high staff turnover rate is exactly because they're pilots. Most employers realise that they will be gone in 60 seconds the very moment a flying job is thrown their way. And it's almost impossible to persuade anyone that, after having been subjected to a compulsory redundancy, you are now dreaming of a job that pays less than half of a pilot's salary becoming your "new normal" once and forever.
