[QUOTE="edd_tv, post: 1572224, member: 8098"] What Frigid said. I have a commercial pilot certificate as well. At one point I had considered trying to fly for UPS or an airline. I had already been here for 4 years and was close to driving. Sadly, I think we have a better quality of life then what you would have if that's possible. My old instructor quit her job as an accountant to fly for the airlines. After 5-1/2 years she made captain, and is now making what we make. This after she left a 6 figure salary and sinking almost 80k into all her ratings up to ATP. She flies into small airports daily. A day for her is usually six hops into Podunk in the weather all the time. I have a buddy who is a 1st officer ata private charter jet co. He makes slightly less than we make. But another guy in our club is a captain and he makes over 200k. He is ex military. It depends on where you can get in. He applied here but couldn't get an interview and he has over 3500 hours turbine pic. Point being, once the bug bites you it's hard to get rid of it. I work here so I can fly for fun. To the people I ment above, flying has became a job, very well paying, but still a job. [/QUOTE]
