The most common question I get after publishing my last episode about surviving a furlough is “What does Spirit shutting down mean for new pilots?” Today, I will also answer the question of how this affects all pilots at all levels.
Talking Points:
This news does not affect the new pilots. You are at all if you are looking at this as a career and have more than 10 years left in your career.
If you are looking to get hired in the next year or 2 this will affect you.
More pilots are choosing private and business aviation.
More competition, so increase your hours.
What if you have a background challenge?

If you have more than 10 years ahead of you, this is just one of many
layoffs you will see in your career. How do you protect yourself and survive a furlough?

What should you do?
If you are concerned, speak with a career coach.
Build hours towards your ATP.
Obtain more ratings. Some regional airlines like to see the Instrument instructor license.
Fly!
Be humble and don’t turn down a flying job because it is “beneath you”.
Hubris has killed many careers and companies.
Take one step every day towards your career goal.
