No,


it's not selling Sham Wow or Amway or Mary Kay. This is something you've already been trained and know how to do. As a nominal Captain, making $300/hr, combined with DC of 16%, profit sharing of 16%, let's put it for arguments sake at $400/hr... one day trip $2,000; 2 day trip $4,000, 3 day trip $6,000. No fuss, no muss. Agreed, you may work 3 days flying with people you like drinking beer at places you choose to go. Kona? 3 days? drinking beer? sitting in the sun? swimming with turtles? Tear my arm off and beat me to death with it.

Would I rather make $300 a month on a rental and have 20 of them to deal with, or do something I truly enjoy and gross the same amount?

Oh, wait. I forgot. Please ALPA, protect me from myself. I want to stand on my ladder, and paint my house, and trim my trees or somehow justify fishing at the lake for $2,000 a day. You guys hash it out any way you want.

Passive income is great. I made copious porn films years ago and the passive income of me and John Holmes is extraordinary. But it's not the bidnes for everybody.

Cheers. To each your own. Hope everybody excels at whatever their side business is until the minority convinces others that we need protection from ourselves.

Because isn't that what a union is for? I'm too stupid to understand what I want to do with my own life, and the union needs to protect me from me? Thank you.
