Obviously. Most of that single 135 stuff is at night and that's usually when ATC is quiet and traffic very light. How hard can it be. Oh boo hoo thunderstorms? You can see lightning at night from miles away. This is a much lower skill level than us major/LCC guys flying the real metal in the busiest of airports at the busiest of times. Now that involves some serious skill. Not flying into Evansville.

I'm only on 2nd year pay and on track to clear $82k. 4 to 6 times higher would mean $410,000 - $492,000. Name one corporate job that pays that much? 3am. Ring ring, ring ring. Hello? It's the boss's daughter. She needs to get to Teterboro now. Oh, isn't Jim on call tonight? He didn't answer, you did. Ugh ok. She likes McDonalds, pick it up on the way. Alright, anything else? Yes, one more thing. The airplane is out of sanitary napkins and it's that time of the month for her.... so fix that problem, hopefully that Walmart is open. Ok, I'll be there in 40 minutes. No, we need you there in 20.
