Hi - Looking at an ab-initio course - I've got the cash organised, and passed the aptitude test for a training school. I would be 33 with a CPL, 200ish hrs, and the frozen ATPL.
1) What would be my employment potential? The school are optimistic, though this is nagging me a bit.
Done only 10 hours flying and its the biz. Make my mind up time now but I'm not familiar with the industry or the real life aspects of the job.
2) So once you're in the job, what is/are the most difficult/disliked part(s) of the job?
(Is it commercial get-that-plane-back-up-there pressure, hours worked, time Pilots spend away from their familys, flying in bad weather with close spacing on landing, dealings with Airline Management?) Am I mad to even consider this step with such scant information?? The big bucks and 5 days on 3 off is whats really drawing me apart from the *perceived* fun of commercial flying.
Thanks
