I'll take that challenge. Wow - first try. 15 minutes from downtown Cincinnati. They have two major league sports teams, a symphony, an aquarium, and some folks have ce-ment ponds.
Welcome to reality. You should try living here.

Your idea of a good life is a 14x11 master bedroom, in a zipcode with schools in the bottom 10% of the country and where the number of people with college degrees is about 12%?? You have GOT to be kidding me.. please, tell me you're joking.. Cause if not, we have to stop debating, there is no point of reference.

So I guess the next thing you're going to say now is that pilots are blue color labor that fits in someplace between bus driver and day laborer.

some observations
I just wasted 30 min of my life that I will never get back by reading this entire thread.
some observations,
the median household income for the entire USA in 2005 (the latest census data available) was $46,326. So yes, $50,000 is a lot of money to more than half the country.
A very nice home in San Antonio in a great neighborhood with good schools can be had for well under $450k

At the low end, pilots are grossly underpaid. At the high end, not so much. But these pay rates are market driven as all pay should be.
If you can't live like you want to in NJ, CA, MD, or where ever, move. High cost of living does not equate to high quality of living.
CE sounds like a snob
Just my humble opinion

He's probably is his early 20's and living at home, or in a 1br sh#tbox. He's in for a rude awakening when he gets married, has children, and has to provide a good QOL for them. These hobbyists are the reason the profession is going down the tubes. They will work for scraps so that they can call themselves airline pilots. God forbid a pilot flying a 747 across the pond wants to make enough money to live in a nice city and send his children to a private school.

Younger generation
The apple farmers saw their jobs go away to immigrants from the south. Pilots watch helplessly as younger people take over to do the same job for less.
How can they understand until it is their turn to be undercut? It is not anyone's fault. The job is just too easy now. High school kids will be the next wave.

And as a native Arizonan and close follower of real estate, just because you can't buy a house here doesn't mean that you don't make enough, it just means that the idiots have bid the prices of the houses too high. Look at renting a house until the craze blows over. Rents are at all time lows and landlords are dieing for good tenants.
But if you need to buy a house I can assure you that there's plenty of 3br 2000sq foot houses available for $300k or even less.

50K is not a lot of money nor is 100k today really.
