Description

The financial pathway of a major airline pilot is remarkably similar to that of a doctor. A lot of people don't realize they make doctor-like incomes and actually have a lot of doctor-like financial challenges. You make little to no income for a decade, then pretty good income for as long as you can go without burning out. Joining us in this episode is Jason Depew, a veteran and current captain with Delta. We discuss the parallels between the financial lives of doctors and pilots like high income, burnout, geographical arbitrage, lack of financial education, and the loss of income during this pandemic. Pilots are unionized. We talk about the benefits and drawbacks of being part of a powerful union, which may be the future of medical professionals. Pilots, especially with the major airlines, are a high income professional category that we don't  discuss a lot at the White Coat Investor, but this episode will be a great resource for our pilot listeners as well as all other high income professionals.  This podcast is sponsored by Bob Bhayani at drdisabilityquotes.com.
