I figured that the $25k and $30k per month at a legacy are for pilots who have been there for millions of years and fly wide bodies. What do you mean by your being a pilot in the defense industry? Are you military, or a civilian test pilot for DOD? I am just curious.

You're right, you shouldn't fly if you don't absolutely love flying. Thanks for your input Scraggly Heron!
