Hopefully flying WILL be my side job soon...
If it turns into a regionals job, I plan to bid the lowest reserve I can, for as long as I can while continuing to write software on side (and keep my family above the poverty line). Once I'm making the same as I am now and don't need to write software anymore (I'll keep it up just in case...but then it will be the hobby). With the extra time I'll start a punk cover band, anyone play drums? bass?
