Decades? The Federal Government made discrimination illegal in 64, you were alive at the time, I believe. As of 1980, some states still had not gotten the memo.
There are more than 2 1/2 million nurses in the US and less than 600,000 pilots. Many of whom are not even professionals.
There are many more people than there are planes, I know they don't teach you much in Appalachia, but a more accurate assessment would be number of medical opportunities vs. air ferry opportunities. It takes what, 50 hours to get a pilots licence? Do you even need a GED??? You can take a plane into the air as early as 12 years old I can see why chose to be an air cabbie
40 for a private license. 1500 for an ATP. Typically several thousand to be hired as a captain on any jet. East Ridge HS class of 1979. I can see why you failed to complete your flight training, and took up a position as an enema tech instead. Reverse Cow Girl "rides" again!
I didn't ask if you got out of high school Luke Gaywalker, but I can see you lived up to the reading they teach in Appalachia U do not need a GED to do your job, nuff said
Technically no, in reality no one would hire you without it. I do need a LOT more training AND experience than you do to be a nurse though.
