Houston is reasonably affordable to live in. No state income tax and gas is dirt cheap. Hourly pay here isn’t anywhere close to industry leading but with our EQO it averages out to roughly what RPA pays.
The 145 isn’t shiny at all, but it’s a great jet to start on and it certainly will get you the hours you need for your next job.
If sincere about the list of priorities this is good advice. The fact that he said quickest upgrade time and then listed RPA makes me think he doesn’t know what he wants.
