Now if you young buck studs could take that to heart and realize, flying is about dollars and days off. That's it. If you want "kicks" take up soaring or sport flying. Stop saying things like, "Anything over 50K/yr is gravy, I would fly for free, I live to fly, Flying is my life....."
Flying may be your life NOW but when you have a family and are staring retirement in the face, your perspective WILL change. Trust me! 50K/year is NOT enough. 200k/yr is just barely enough. Really. Your going to live a long time past 60. (hopefully)
