Doom and gloom?
I'm a CFI/CFII/MEI And assistent chief pilot at my flight school. I've avoided Reddit for awhile because all I here about is how burnt out people are and getting multiple rejections from airlines or not even getting an interview. The online pilot culture is a little to salty for my taste, so much so that it's made me second guess what I've gotten myself into. I've also noticed this trend of dramatic pilots how the slightest inconvenience can ruin your career. My reality might be a bit different but all my higher time co-workers have eventually been hired by skywest/republic within the past year, neither were cadets. And they are just CFI's. No CFII or MEI, nothing fancy to their name. I want to offer a word of encouragement to other students out there and that 99% of the time, it's going to be OK!
