Now is not the time to be thinking about going to the airlines as they are furloughing pilots and cutting their fleets and routes. It is also probably not the best time to go into Flight Instruction full time as most students are probably discouraged with the outlook of the airlines right now. I am about 3 months away from being able to leave the company I am working for but the things I was really hoping to do are not viable options at the moment. I will continue with my flying and get my instructor certificates and will most likely do some flight instruction on the side but not full time. So I am starting to look at other options for work. I have been burned out on writing code for the past couple of years and I definitely want to move out of that as soon as possible. I have a couple of ideas for other jobs I could pursue, one if which I have applied for already. I will not give any details as to what it is as I do not want to give that away just yet, some people who are closer to me already know what I am referring to. I will just say that it is in the aviation industry and leave it at that until I have more details. Till next time, fly safe...
I received my private pilot certificate in August 2000 while in college, and graduated in 2003 with a B.S. in Computer Science. I was a Software Engineer for a Medical Software company for 5 years and during that time I continued my training and received my Instrument and Multi Engine Commercial certificates. I am now taking a new route to pursue my flying career. I am going to Officer Candidate School for the U.S. Coast Guard. Once finished with that I will apply for flight school and hopefully be on my way to living my dream. Please follow along as I continue my journey...
