Quit to become an airline pilot?
I'm a current 1st-year Analyst at a BB and have only been on the job for ~5 months. While short, it's been enough time for me to tell that this isn't for me in the long term. The hours suck, but I'm just flat-out not interested in the work.
Given that I'm 23, I feel like I can still make a switch to something that I'll enjoy for the next 40ish years. If I could have chosen anything out of school, it would have been aviation, but I was always intimidated by the training and low starting pay.
The way I see it, quitting to pursue flying will either be a costly mistake or a decision that sets me up for an enjoyable and rewarding future. I wanted to see if anybody on this forum had any thoughts or advice.
My sister and her husband are both Captains at United Airlines. She is on the 777. They have both found their careers rewarding, but they started in military aviation. What is your preferred path to get flight hours?
Currently looking at several options on the civilian route. Would probably get my PPL at a local school to save money and then get the rest of my ratings at ATP. After that, it seems like instructing is the best way to build hours while maintaining your skills.
aren't airlines having pilot shortages now albeit mid-level.
