With mass layoffs at US air carriers expected this fall, airline pilots like Michelle Bishop are anticipating the unwelcome reality that pilots like herself may soon be left without stable work.
“I’m just trying to fly as much as I can, while I can, because I love it,” Bishop, who has worked as an airline pilot for more than 20 years, told CNN Business. In her recent downtime, Bishop said she spent hours scrolling through LinkedIn listings and other job sites searching for a line of work that wouldn’t force her to spend all day at a desk.
One opportunity piqued her interest: Piloting drones.
