Exactly! Instruct for 3 to 5 years while getting paid $12,000 a year and then maybe eventually you can get that high paying job at the regionals making a whopping 20K! But don't worry because after another 5 years or maybe 10 years you will get that great gig at CAL for 30K and no health insurance. Once you make your way through a "well" paid Capt. you can pay off you debt and by the time you are you can start living a decent life with decent schedule. Oh, and that's the best case scenario because you might get furloughed...
