I'm sorry that aviation didn't work out for you. I'm glad you're in a better place. Enjoy flying your C-150.
Apples to Apples.

I flew for Horizon Air and made $492 every two weeks. I also was gone a lot more than 40 hours a week. It was closer to 85 hours a week. That comes out to $2.89 an hour TAFB take home pay. Yuk ...

I am in a much better place.
