So my current gig is getting ready to go away and I am strongly leaning toward getting out of aviation for a while. I have a question and I hope someone with hiring experience or someone who has been in a similar situation can help.
If I were to leave aviation and just stay current flight instructing on the side would I still be competitive with a legacy? I have around 7000tt with over 1000 PIC in both 121 and 135, heavy intl experience, yada yada yada. So I have pretty much been there done that and now feel it might be a good time to get out and try something else. I would still like to keep my options open to come back but I don't have any interest in most of the places hiring currently.
Opinions?
