What Would You Do?

[Filkster]

If you currently had a secure civil service government position that you could retire from with a full pension in (6) six calender years would you give that up for a flight crewmember position with Pinnacle Airlines, or for any airline for that matter at this point in time?

If I stay with the civil service position I will be 49 years old at retirement. At that age what does anyone think my chances of being hired by an air carrier would be then?

Any feed back from people in the industry would be appreciated.

Even the large major airlines have rid themselves of pilot retirements and you want to give yours up??? What are you smoking?? All to fly a shiny RJ for no money and be constantly abused by high school drop out schedulers that delight in making your life miserable????

Get your pension first, you'll need it to live on while enjoying your hobby of flying RJ's.
