Hahaha 300k. I just about spilled my coffee. Depending on the options you choose an SR22 will run you 600-700K new and a descent used one still well over 400K. 85k thousand a year will buy you a nice picture of one though

Thank You! If you think you are a glorified bus driver as a pilot you need to find another career. We aren't astronauts but this is still a professional career that should be treated with a high level of professionalism. Young FO's please stop wearing hoodies and beats headsets with your uniform. You want professional pay, then ACT like a professional. Rant over

You know I made $8921 a month from home just for working a few hours a week. Click here to find out how I did it.

Well, let's see...my dad is Indian, I've been there more times than I can count, and I've lived and worked across SE Asia. So yes, I am vaguely aware that they are separate countries.

Or I can fly a drone part time while making 45k starting and do my IT work for 85k from home and make 130k a year. I have options. Call me dumb but I know of guys that are currently doing this and said the hell with being a professional bus driver working for minimum wage.

Bus driver? You are in the wrong forum!

Hahahaha Dang it, again, almost spilled my water (luckily the cap was on

).

You made a whole $8921 in a month? You can definitely afford an SR22 now. I recommend the higher quality wood carved model version over the plastic model. Wood is nicer sitting on your desk while your making those high roller big bucks
