Anyone think of quitting consulting and going pro? There is a huge pilot shortage right now and it’s probably the best time ever to get into it. But the money....ugh.

Had the same thoughts, but just can’t be in a position to not be at my current salary for like 3-5 years

Same... :( any chance that single pilot cockpits will ease the demand though?

Thinking about it... not easy to make it happen (and the salaries, indeed)

Thinking about it for sure

Hello if anyone’s there 👋 I’m wondering what some of you have done after getting your PPL? I assume continue to learn/gain ratings, but how often do you fly once you’ve reached that milestone, do you look to get you own aircraft (or share), volunteer etc? Looking to eventually take the plunge, but want to know what things look like beyond PPL.

Looking to choose a place to fly out of for getting my PPL. Would you recommend a program based out of a controlled or uncontrolled airport? It sounds like you get more flight time out of the uncontrolled (less busy), but less experience liaising with ATC. Both options are comparable cost-wise and about the same distance from my house.

Anyone have good fall foliage GA airports in New Hampshire, MA, or Southern Maine?

Took the plunge and took a 2 month break from work to finally get my PPL. No clue how I would’ve done this without the break. Passed medical, written, and already have 6 hours! I’m doing an accelerated program with a small school in California to knock this out in a few weeks. So far so good!
