Here something to think about it: 20 years ago such conversation would never take place. Low pay and Airline Pilot never existed in the same sentence. You think that making 30 K year is good? By the time you get hired (because of eager people like you)the pay will be somewhere south of that.
Please don't accuse me of being the reason that FO's get 30K a year... I'm not the fat prick CEO responsible for that. I just see something that I'd like to try out. And I'm not bored of Cessna's, I just can't afford to fly them. The way I see it, the ONLY way I'd get to fly is to do so for hire... And sue me for wanting to fly jets because they offer more opportunity down the road than being a lifetime CFI? I'm not even close to an airline job yet, and I get accused of being the reason the 1 yr FO's make 30 grand? Come on man...
