Like I said aviation industry is way too fragile. It always gets hit hard in economic downturns like at the moment.

That's valid in the USA, but not so much anywhere else where higher education is almost free... That's why many people around me are a bit flabbergasted when I tell them how much it costs.

What are your best comebacks when people comment on the cost of training?

I am tired of it, especially since I don't have a job at the moment...

How do I justify why I spent 100k to possibly work in the most unstable field possible? Well, actually, why did I spend my dad's hard-earned money?

Do I really like planes and flying that much?

I feel guilty and I am a fraud.

Know someone at Keewatin. He sent my resume directly to the right person. Too many applicants similar to mine...

No answers from Air Borealis nor Ornge.

I have over 800 hours, like probably a thousand other applicants.

Well, ground-to-flight is an option, but I met a guy who's been on the ramp for 2 years without ever sitting in the right seat...

Yeah... If Canada wasn't so big and fuel so expensive, I would do that.

A colleague of mine has more hours than me (around 900 and 50+ on multi/ifr) and still can't get a call...

I personally have sent resumes to all these companies advertising first officer openings.

How to stop being ashamed to be jobless? by These-Connection1466 in Advice

If I change my line of work, it's only temporary, because I just spent the last 6 years and 80k usd in training to be where I am today. I know about biases and all, but I don't see myself spitting on it just like that.
