[t6dpilot]

I very seriously considered taking the airline route some years ago when I was in career "transition." I have a good friend with fairly high seniority in AA who knows a check pilot at Sky West. He could have easily gotten me through the door for an interview - the rest would have been up to me, of course. I really considered this hard as I love to fly, but I came to my senses thankfully. Crap pay and crap schedules did not appeal whatsoever. I would literally have to pay them to hire me. No thanks. I'll just stick with the corporate game and work hard to afford to play with airplanes.

I know a lot of airline pilots both active and retired. The game has changed...
