But at the same time its a little flawed thinking that. SUre I only make 15 dollars an hour....but I work over 100 a month. Some of the guys I have worked with left their hometown FBO where they made 40 an hour because they were luck to bring 500 dollars a month.
When I get my class date I'll be taking a pay cut...Didnt think that that could happen to a CFI.
