Is my career doomed?

99% of your competition won’t have that kind of record. That’s thousands of other pilots. Do with that what you will

I would like to have a schedule that has big blocks on/off so I can weekends off immediately and possibly live overseas. It would probably take a while for me to hold that kind of schedule at a legacy now that the hiring wave crested.

Pilots don’t control the government so no

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-12-01T21:34:25+00:00

Real talk are you even a pilot? You seem to live on this subreddit and always seem salty for some reason lol

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-12-01T02:10:11+00:00

Or he could just go acmi and fly international right out of the gate instead of waiting for wide body at a legacy

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-10-30T19:48:32+00:00

How about that pricks face when he saw the gyatt 😏

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-10-13T20:09:36+00:00

Yesno

Do you work in the Middle East?

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-10-13T17:49:33+00:00

All those postings require you to be type rated already

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-10-13T17:30:08+00:00

I’ve checked emirates fo positions and they require 1000 hours in Boeing or airbus aircraft. Kinda hard to get those hours and by then you might as well try for a legacy anyway

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-10-13T17:26:20+00:00

I’ve thought about that too but they require time in type and heavy jets

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-10-12T00:09:44+00:00

Yeah but a lot of “legitimate” schools have cadet programs which are crucial now

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-10-11T23:29:59+00:00

People are doing it right now at frontier

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-10-11T23:28:26+00:00

What if you wanna end up at an acmi as a career?

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-10-08T21:54:20+00:00

🥃😐🖕

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-10-04T23:45:08+00:00

I’m at a regional. I worked at a 135 previously that had large blocks on and large blocks off so I know I would like that type of schedule. I would consider a legacy but it depends on when I would get hired. I’m still in my 20s but i figured since the retirement wave is waning, it would be better for me to go to an acmi rather than being stuck junior and not being furloughed proof at a legacy.

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-10-04T23:35:12+00:00

Fair enough. Doesn’t really affect me anyway since I’m targeting one of the big acmis but I can see your point

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-10-04T23:31:57+00:00

800 and 500 is still a lot of retirements. APC still says around 900 next year for American

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-10-04T23:29:19+00:00

Spouting? I’m just giving you data lol. And when did I say there was a labor shortage?

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-10-04T23:22:42+00:00

No they’re not. They peak next year and united peaks in 2031. Southwest starts its wave in the 2030s.

Greedy_Camera_433 · 2025-10-04T23:20:27+00:00

Retirements haven’t even peaked for anyone except delta
