New gig, lotsa time... get an A&P?

[H.Agenda]

150 hours of year, salary pay. 1-2 weeks advanced notice, a few pop-ups a year.

Penny for y'alls thoughts.

As my 75 year-old boss would say, "You have me completely confused."

either be a pilot or be an a&p.

If you have an A&p guess what you'll be doing if you leave this job.

not worth it.

If you can work where you live, make decent money and don't need to build time, why not?

 

[learflyer]

you guys understood that riddle?

Start something outside of pilot duties. Like selling aircraft insurance or anything.
My advice comes from 2 furloughs and 1 corporate airplane sold with no notice.

Youre probably right.

You also never know what kind of "additional" duties you might become responsible for. You might end up turning the wrench on what would've been a day off, without additional compensation if you're really unlucky.

payton has it right on. Start working on a profession OUTSIDE of aviation. As much as I love to fly, and I enjoy my current (and hopefully long-term) position, it's reality that you cannot depend on aviation financially.

I started a side-business over the past 3 years in my spare-time from aviation. While I'm not in a position yet to be independent financially from aviation, I'm getting closer everyday. Fortunatly, I listened to all those "old crustys" on the jumpseat who had been through half dozen aviation jobs that said - "find something to back you up." My own furlough drove the point home.

Just $.02. Good Luck!
