FYI to all:
Ualdriver makes some good points.
You would be surprised how people react to you knowing you can manage an aircraft.
After being furloughed once and looking down the gun of another furlough, I am pursuing my master's degree. I am a little different than most in that I have a bachelor's in accounting.
Let me tell all pilots. You have many skills. We multitask very well, we can listen, (even though we ignore passengers or FA that are driving us crazy), we take directions well, decision making is not a problem and learning new information fast is not a problem. We are also use to last minute changes and do not go crazy over this.
Pilots are a unique group. I tell everyone this. Sometimes are worst enemy is ourselves. Plus we don't really like be managed. We like to go out do our jobs and be let alone.
Good luck to all that are either changing career by choice or because this crazy industry makes. Just remember do sell yourself short. Their are many things we can do.
