change of professional direction
I would appreciate some comments of those who have already been down that road. I'm turning 29 shortly, hold a PPL since six years, have about 350 hours (VFR) and since two years own a SEP aicraft together with a friedn.
In the past months, I have grown ever more frustrated with my job in the communications industry and seriously consider doing a modular ATPL over the next 12 months. This should be possible without loans or borrowed money, but my savings will be quite depleted by then. Wife is fine with it, because a) she isn't the family-with-kids-type either and b) she sees how my present job is wearing me out.
I know that in the first years as a pilot I will make less money than I do now – if I find a job, that's what makes me thinking. Do you see any signs of the pilot market improving? Or is it moving in a direction where it is "22 year old company cadet" or p2f or no commercial/airline flying at all?
Thanks for your thoughts!
