Don’t get me wrong, there are some good guys that do that job, but it’s not really a flying job for the most part. Good luck and do your research as to why you may not be well received by some line guys. There are very good reasons for that.
Thank you. Good reasoning. I've heard the pay is fantastic for FQL, but it is hard to pin down any specific details. For those of us near the end of a career, it is a potential path to maximize finances. And just because someone is a "manager" does not mean they must sell their soul. I've worked on both sides of the line at several companies and try to work with integrity, no matter which role I'm in.
