Are you seriously going to listen to the idiots on this board for career advise??
Well, kjokmo, I must say that yours is the only post that I would disregard. I asked for honest, positive advice, and I have to say that’s what I’m getting here except from you.
In fact, all these months of prowling this board, above are (except yours) the most positive responses I have seen/read and many of the PMs are on the same wavelength.
Everyone seems to put more weight in ‘marriage’ and ‘family’, and I totally like this perspective: not uprooting family in order to chase jobs.
Well, yes, I have visited India as an adult, and as someone of an Indian descendant, I admit it’s an awful place to live. I’m very lucky to be here (Flying in America – AOPA Pilot, July 2005)! My wife is of American/Caucasian descent and kids are born here as well. She’s never been to India and I know it would be difficult for her. It would be difficult for me, let alone for someone who’s never been away from US/Canada.
Now back to the post, I am grateful for all the insights. Very educational and it gives me a different perspective. I accept that I am just about starting to look for a regional job and the opportunities would come. It’s just that flying a Twin Piston for 135 Vs A320 airline job…well, you see my point.
And also that A320 SIC is the same as CRJ SIC, I wouldn’t have known that, but thanks to all, especially to AMRCostUnit, for the good insight.
Keep it coming please. Thanks.
