"If I were to make an income statement from my business you would be the first to jump my case demanding details."

Not really. I don't look at it the same way. I didn't mean to brag. If someone challenges me (a la Tony M) that you can't make X amount in aviation, and I make X amount, I think remaining silent would be a disservice to the truth. Don't you? Had Tony M made the comment at the Cargo forum, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Another way to look at it. Let's say Skyhigh leaves the career because the pay sucks and he wants to be home every night. I think if one is considering following Skyhigh's example, it's fair that one should be able to ask Skyhigh was he makes and what his business is (had to ask CGdaddy three times....) I disagree that it's improper to provide that info. I mean, perhaps it's something you don't want people to know, like where you live. Myself, I don't worry about that (Spokane, WA). I guess I just look at it differently. If someone asks me what I make, it doesn't bother me to tell them.

At this thread, I'm called a liar because I won't give the details of something I'm called a braggart about?

Sorry folks. Maybe in a different forum in a different thread.

"My problem is I'm waiting for 1 in the right geographic area"

Yeah, it takes time. Networking is key if you have a target. Sometimes you have to wait for somebody to retire (or die) to slide into the perfect gig. Good luck.
