I wouldn’t come back if I had to repeat the first or second year salary again, but come on, you cant live off of 35,000 a year? That is what I will be coming back to, yes its low but I can support my family on that. I mentioned that I would be taking a pay cut from my current employer the USPS, just to show that is the reason I am going back, because I love to fly. I already have health insurance, and if I want to get current I can go to a local flight school, and pay around 200.00 and get in the sim. I am not young, nor have I ever had money, referring to the trust fund quote. I also find it insulting that you would belittle the profession that I had to get into in order to feed my family and keep a roof over their heads.
Gary,
By your admission the USPS pays
twice as much as your flying job. You also have mentioned that you already have health insurance which leads me to believe that you are getting it from your spouses form of employment.
You have described yourself as "
not young, nor have I ever had money". I don't know how you can justify being away from home for a job that pays half as much as a mailman and even try to feel good about it. You are cheating your family out of income that everyone needs for your own self serving wants.
If you are indeed an adult then you should be considering putting the needs of your family ahead of yourself. The long term effects of pursuing aviation over a stable career in the postal service does not make sense.
Love your family more than your job.
