I was fortunate enough to retire from my previous profession at an early age, so the low pay is not a factor. Always dreamed of a career in aviation. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Pilotrod, I understand how you personally feel about the pay. If you want other pilots to even speak to you it means that you will have to fight alongside them for improvements even though you personally may not need them. 99% of the people you will be flying with really do need the money. By the way, don't ever voice the fact that the low pay does not bother you around other pilots. You would not get a nice response from most of them. So again, it's fine if you want to fly as long as you don't advocate lowering the bar.
