Do it for the love of flying, ha ha love that one. Just finished a 4 day and landed a whopping 5 times. Total flight time hand flying about 1 hr, total time logged 27 hrs. Spent 50 hrs in a hotel alone.
Talked to a buddy of mine the other day who I instructed. He now is a Forman on a construction crew and makes more than I do and is home every night. He asked how flying was going; I explained that this is the most
boring job I have ever had. And I have done some really boring ****.
I discourage anyone thinking about flying professionally. Not cause I don’t want them to fulfill there dreams but its just not that much fun these days. Oh and the pay sucks to.
