[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What, no? Pilots get paid nothing and burn out very quickly.[/quote]

Huh? Commercial airline pilots are in high demand (a shortage right now) and make solid six figures. I know in DCUM, that’s nothing, because everyone needs to be a millionaire, but in the real world, it’s great.[/quote]
How long do they have to fly to get to 6 figures[/quote]

After you get a transport pilots license almost every pilot starts working at a regional.   It’s the only way to build up flight hours and eventually get the 800 hours of turbine(jet) experience that legacy carriers like to see.

The regionals are the ones currently facing the greatest shortage.  The pilot pipeline is broken at the bottoms due to how long/money it takes to get the required flight training required to become an airline transport pilot with enough hours to fly commercial.  At the legacy carriers the hold up is the training requirements.  The pandemic and rush of new hires has delayed a lot of the training.  A pilot is only allowed to fly one type of aircraft at a time.  That can switch around different aircraft models.[/quote]
