SkyHigh, what kind of business do you own? I ask this because I have always been interested in what others do to make money for themselves. Geniuine question, no flame. I haven't and won't flame you.

Maybe he knows this and gets a rise out of it. By the way, I love old vee dubs! German cars in general. I just sold my old jetta to pay for my IFR rating. :-( They only made a few like the one I had.

Great idea but often for the “working stiff” plain wrung out and no time left for flying. Ideally if a compadre who likes to fly can fly and make a decent living – why that’s the ideal, because of the time factor.

Sound counsel. You don’t get time back...

yeah well Im jealous of my buddies Porsche:o, He is jealous of my uniform, and how much my job helps with leaving the bar with a girl..................."Wow your a pilot" hahah I hate to say it fellas, but works everytime

Business
 

I am in real estate investment and development on a small scale. I buy land, build houses and I buy older houses to renovate and rent them to predominantly to college students at a high price.

Shucks – never found gals particularly persuaded by flying nor uniform.


So’s gotta be yer infectious smile, SAAB!:D

Do it for the love of flying, ha ha love that one. Just finished a 4 day and landed a whopping 5 times. Total flight time hand flying about 1 hr, total time logged 27 hrs. Spent 50 hrs in a hotel alone.

Talked to a buddy of mine the other day who I instructed. He now is a Forman on a construction crew and makes more than I do and is home every night. He asked how flying was going; I explained that this is the most boring job I have ever had. And I have done some really boring ****.

I discourage anyone thinking about flying professionally. Not cause I don’t want them to fulfill there dreams but its just not that much fun these days. Oh and the pay sucks to.:D

If I were to have posted something like that there would be a dozen anti-postings by now jumping my case about it. What is the deal? :confused:

Perhaps you should mention that during the 50 hours in a hotel room you mostly ate Top Ramon that you brought with you since it is too expensive to eat on the road?

You could also bring Woolite to wash your shirt in the sink so you wouldn't have to bring a spare with you. That way you could bring more food.

It is a great way to spend your days on planet earth. Stuck in a "B" grade hotel room eating rot gut microwave food while reading a used USA today watching free HBO and bored to tears. That sums up most of my time as an airline pilot.

Live the dream !!
