First off Michael has been WAY above the Cessna market for a long time. Flying Gulfstreams and Challengers they hire you by the day, week or month if its short term. Starts at $1500 A DAY for what I fly and assume that his is a bit less than that but not by much.
Doctors can be very easy to work for or absolute a$$wipes. With todays market things are lots more difficult than it was a year ago.
Bill (sniper) when I was referring to him "starting new" it was as a pilot in Alaska, which would be something TOTALLY different from what he has been doing for years. A lot more hands on but a lot of fun.
In the end IMHO he needs to find something fun and something that he likes, and hopefully something that pays pretty well. Starting over as a beach bum might be fun but the pay aint gonna make it, especially for a guy 10 years away from retirement looking to stash some bucks.
