"Airline types need not apply"

[Wankel7]

I honestly wonder what is going to happen when airline retirements get to full stride. There are going to be a flood of ex airline guys out there. Ones that can't live with out a cockpit around them or the ones that need the money.

Regardless, there are going to be a lot of pilots looking for jobs.

Are there many corporate flight departments that offer schedules?

Yup. 1 aircraft, 4 pilots, 21 days on-call/7 consecutive days off. Vacations aren't usually an issue, and during your 7 days off, you can turn off the phone, leave the country, go scuba diving, etc. Additionally, we get 42 days of vacation per year.

yes, we have a great sched. i have had a schedule for the last 25 years.

25 years! Has it really been that long?

17+8+1+3=29 yr as a paid pilot. 25 with a sched. yep. I guess it has P.

...funny, I don't think of myself as an old fart, but the numbers?

By the time most airline pilots fly till 65, they won't be able to get a first class medical. Those last 5 years are hard on you.

Now, it may be really tough to get a sim instructor's job at FSI...
