sounds all well and good until you realize the fact you are making 15-16 k a year with student loans coming due. At some point pilots have to stop accepting jobs like that until the pay gets to livable. I'm all for paying dues, but you shouldn't have to get turned upside-down financially to possibly get ahead. there needs o be upward pressure from the bottom as far as pay goes. No matter how desperate you are, you need to be willing to make more as a greeter at WalMart than to allow people to make money off of your crap wages.
