Default I found this for you guys !!

In the local news paper:

POST OFFICE now hiring. Average pay $20 hourly or 57K per year including federal benefits and overtime. Paid training, vacations. 1-800-574-4781

No college or flight training required. Just pass a simple civil service test and you could start out making as much as most new regional captains without the $1500 a month in student loans.

Are you sure about that? What kind of intellegence does it take to invest 150K in training and education, and most of a decade for a 17K per year job?

My point is that even common jobs can best an airline career these days.

Default The AD

The ad appeared in a regional classifieds newspaper. My guess is that it is a nationally ran advertisement. If I were you I would call the number to find out more.

I don't understand you. You bash people for getting into aviation and spending all that money, yet you did the same thing yourself.

Their is no way in hell that I will work at a post office. I'll leave that job to the high school dropouts while I get a real job with my education.

if one loves to deliver mail, sort mail, lick stamps, sell stamps, or tape boxes, then perhaps this is the job for them.

Most people are not in aviation for the money, that should be obvious

If you have the passion and desire to fly, you will do anything reasonable to make it reality

I don't think their is anyone that dreams of licking stamps when they grow up. Its one of those jobs that people do just because they need a paycheck.

I'm positive it's you, seeing that I don't know of any pilot that has spent $150K on training and college. At most it might be between $80 - 100K or so for both; but you've always been one for over exaggerating to help you justify your numbers while you continue to live in denial. BTW, you speak as though you'll always make $20K a year or 60K as a CA. I don’t know of anyone on the forum more hated than you.
