Airline Pilots who are Lawyers?
Hey all,
Im an incoming freshman under the University of Oklahoma’s flight program. Im coming in with 45 college credits from HS so have some room to study for the LSAT. Ive always been interested in Law and am looking into pursuing Law School part time while flying at an airline in the future and becoming a part time attorney.
Are there any airline pilots who work as part time attorneys out there? Is the extra income worth the time spent? Is this even practical?
For some context, the first 6 years or so of your career you work about 15-18 days a month. After that, it can be more like 12-14. Schedules can be irregular but after 5+ years of seniority you are able to control the days you fly with a decent amount of certainty. Of course, some days you will have to fly unexpectedly if on call.
