I used to work with a guy at a computer store in the repair department who was a commercial pilot. He was using the computer store gig as a side job to try to get a foot in the door on an IT career. He said he loved flying, but the compensation he was getting, plus the strict requirements and tough work environment, made it not worth it for him anymore.
- yesiamyourdad 8y agoI used to work side by side as a software engineer at a major airline (one of the survivors today, this was 20+ years ago) with a guy who was using programming as a side job to get a gig as a pilot. He got on with a regional, he told me every pilot had a side gig. They would take turns sleeping in the cockpit. Once he woke up from his nap and the captain had passed out. Good thing autopilot works! More recently, I dated a woman who flies full time for a regional. She qualifies for low income housing.
