I have been curious about going into flying commercially for a while now but I hear such varied stories about the stability of the job. I have one friend that flies for PenAir that has been trying to convince me for 2 years about how solid the work is. But then I get so hopeless when I poke around a little.
Are winter layoffs bad?
And for the record - I love Alaska. I love every part of Alaska. I love working and I love flying. I will be taking a GIGANTIC pay cut to leave my current career of 10 years to go flying. I would do it right now if I could, but I know at the very least I have to stay in my current job to get all of my debt paid off or I won't be able to afford flying as a job.
Heck no winter layoffs are great that's why Hawaii is there....most commercial {schdl} air taxis have interline agreements with airlines...........free rides to Paridise
I don't think they told Gump
