Rich Pilot?
Sounds kind of crazy, but years ago Flying was a very profitable job. Remember the Cadillac a year theory? The theory is, as an airline pilot you should make enough to buy a new Cadillac each year. How much is a 2006 Cadillac?

I grew up in a Pan Am Family...Also new Eastern and National guys too...They made good money, but it was their time off were they made the real bucks...And it was more like a new airplane every year instead of a car...lol...I'll say it again...You will not get rich working for someone else...Cheers

Now a days the nicest airplanes at the airport are owned by business owners and IT guys. In the earlier days most GA planes were owned by pilots and doctors. I agree work for fun!
