It's really opened my eyes, my wife and I making that little money and him making that much. He is already looking at houses and a Lexus. Guess what he also gets free food at work.
I love flying, and working 121, but the pay is beyond atrocious for the amount of work we put into it when you stop and think about it. I guess it goes to show you how much we really do like our jobs, thats our downfall.

i was contemplating getting a normal nine to five, but after going through training for a 3rd time in 36 months! I realized on day 3 of indoc that driving to and fro work everyday in traffic!!!!! I will take a 121 job over a daily commute to sit at a desk all damn day, any day of the week for any amount of money!
if people put as much value on friends, family, time and time spent, as they do on dollars and cents and material possesions. I believe the world would be a better place. I hate to sound cliche, but money isnt everything. I have a buddy that got a job in the medical field right out of college making 71k a year, he was uber pumped for about 6 months but now he hates his job more than anything, complains about work all the time, hates sitting at a desk and doing office politics. Its funny when he gets jealous that i get random 5 day vacations twice a month. The grass is always greener. The only other job i would do would be Donald Trump or a video game tester/developer/designer.
