21F, commerce with maths background, I’m considering aviation seriously and want honest reality check before committing.

1. How true are claims about pilots being treated poorly or power abuse?
2. Is aviation still a good long-term career, or becoming oversaturated?
3. How long did it actually take you from CPL to your first airline job?
4. What was your total cost (CPL + type rating + living + waiting period)?
5. How many people from your batch are still unemployed or not flying?
6. Realistically, what % of CPL holders get into airlines within 1-2 years?
7. How difficult is it to stay current if you don’t get a job immediately?
8. Have you seen people leave aviation after investing heavily? Why?
9. If you could go back, would you still choose this path?
10. Is networking/relations involved in hiring?

My bachelors will be over in may 2027.

this meme is funny until you realise it’s your life 😭

indian girls, what actually helped you deal with strict parents / curfews / no independence?

like real strategies. ik gaining financial independence is the most important step, but im still 21 and will be a student till im 24. not “wait till you move out” advice, I mean real things that worked while you were still at home.

I’ve been stuck in a pretty controlled environment for a while now and I need practical ways to start changing that.
