Its really starting to p*ss me off how these cfis are willing to fly for nothing just to make it to the airlines. This same guy I know is being replaced as an instructor by another furloughed guy from my airline! I don't mean to be mean either but there are too many guys willing to fly for free just to become an airline pilot.
How much did you make your first year?
