Re: Leaving a good paying secure job for aviation

Hello all, I did my flight training about 5 years ago but a lot of things didn't work out so had to put it off. I'm always thinking about getting back into aviation to the point that it's bothering me every day, the goal would be the airlines obviously (i.e Sunwing, Transat, etc.) The dilemma is no...

Re: Leaving a good paying secure job for aviation

Been there, done that and presently doing it for the second time😜. Only you can answer that question. It depends on how bad you really want it. My decision was based on the fact that, I’d much rather live with the regret of chasing my dream and feeling later I should of stayed where I was than, liv...

Re: Leaving a good paying secure job for aviation

I've worked for a Provincial and the Federal Govt's in aviation and don't really miss either. The benefits are one thing but many companies have the same. I've worked with to many guys who didn't like their job and kept saying I'm just here for the pension. If you think you have a passion for flyin...

Re: Leaving a good paying secure job for aviation

I had a well paying government job as well with excellent benefits. I always wanted to be a pilot. I stayed in this safe, secure and well paying government job not believing that I could successfully make this shift. I felt stuck and I was unhappy for the longest time. Even my co-workers told me I ...
