Your slipping YIP. It took you until post #21 to get the college comment in. UAL will put applications in all sorts of stacks and college vs. no college will be one of them.And when UAL starting looking at regional Capts, with their 1000 hrs PIC being the primary selection criteria, the college degree will not be that important, because it has nothing to do with flying an airplane. This is a by-product of pilot shortage.
Even low time guys are worth $28-$30K a year starting pay.
I agree, it will take you approximately 10 years to get to a job that will allow you to start making QOL a goal in your job search.
Gu guy; There always exceptions to any rule, but the average is around 10 years. at age 18 you get your comm., you CFI until age 20, you get a cargo job that lasts 5 years where you start building TJ PIC, you go to a bigger cargo flying 121 for a place like Kalitta for three years. That is 10 years before you start looking for the final career-resting place. If you go the full time college route at age 20 you get your comm., you CFI until age 24, you get a cargo job that lasts 5 years where you start building TJ PIC, you go to a bigger cargo flying 121 for a place like Kalitta for three years. Then there are guys like me who never made it in 40 yrs.
