ACP173 Avoiding Food Stamps And A Divorce While Changing Careers

Can you become a pilot, while avoiding food stamps and a divorce while changing careers? Welcome to the inspirational, informational, and transparent aviation careers podcast. Joining me today is our co host and 737 First Officer, Robert Guyer. Robert has many years as a recruiter with a regional airline, is now a pilot at a major airline, and loves to help you move forward in your career.

It has been an interesting week for both of us. Bad turbulence and another Nor'easter. As a matter of fact I spent most of my day driving for the airline instead of flying. I’ll explain why shortly.

Avoiding Food Stamps And A Divorce While Changing Careers:

  • Should I stay at my 135 cargo job and build 1000 Total Pilot In Command or bail and join a regional as soon as I get my 1250 hrs?
  • How do I balance the rush to build seniority and get 121 time vs actually just staying here and checking the 1000 Total PIC box?
  • Is there anything you think I can do to prepare for the aviation world or piloting in general?
  • Is there any regulation that states that having misdemeanors or felonies will prevent prospective aviators from being hired?
  • IATA Training benefits.
  • I'm in search of discover potential pilot opportunities where I don't need to go on food stamps, get divorced and can still watch my boy's baseball games.
  • US DOT Forces To Flyers Program.
