I’ve been an airline pilot for over 20 years. I was flying for a Chinese airline and lost that job in December because the company had financial troubles. I received a job offer from a US airline pretty quickly but then Covid happened and that’s in limbo now. I’m pretty sure that won’t materialize anytime soon.
Now I’m stuck. No clue what to do but have always been interested in trucking.
Are there a lot of opportunities out there for a new driver now? I’m thinking of enrolling at a local school.
Easy to get a job now? New driver.

A lady was on here a couple years ago that said she was switching to trucking because she was only making about $17K as a regional pilot.

The pay can vary greatly. China was really short of pilots. I made $260k last year and before I lost the job signed a contract for $317k after tax.
I was working for a Hainan subsidiary.
