@DavidWhite thank you. That’s really generous and helpful. I would take you up on the beer offer if I was in Anchorage but I live down in Oregon/Washington most of the time. I work in Alaska for the Denali climbing season and otherwise travel widely. I spent many years away from flying and only...

I grew up around crop dusters and always thought it looked like fun work. I am admittedly wary of some aspects of the career. What kind of work would any of you pursue as a jumping off point to any of the above? What are the non-CFI options you think lead in the direction I’m headed. Bush...

Yes, that’s on the radar. I’d been leaning toward getting the Commercial now and getting a job flying jumpers (or something in that category) just to build time. IFR later. Bad idea? Doesn’t matter?

Ha! Well sure...find me a Stearman and be my wing walker and we’ll take this show on the road.

I wouldn’t rule it out. It looks like fun flying, but I do tend to like the idea of working with and flying people instead of cargo. Thus my question on the limits of a Commercial Cert. Which means it’s likely time to crack they FARAIM again after a few years away ... instead of hassle you fine...

I really like fixed wing and I don’t have rotor-wing training kind of cash burning a hole in my pocket anyway... =)

So I’ve been away from aviation for a little while and just getting back up to speed really. This is part of that process. What are the career limitations of a Commercial certificate. I haven’t dived back into the FAR-AIMs yet so that’s lazy ... but what are the limits in layman’s terms?

But even those are a possibility...I guess. =)

Yep, I already work there occasionally and would definitely consider it. Ideally would be able to still live in the Pacific Northwest and temporarily work in AK but all options on the table. Except maybe Iowa or Kansas. Sorry midwesterners...

I know...asking career advice on an internet forum? Really??? Bahahahahahaha!!! But, humor me please. I’m considering this a brain-storming session. If someone has a goal of making a living in aviation and has zero desire to fly Big Iron for any airline, is in love with grass roots, blue collar...
