If you are OK living on this pay go for it. If not find something else. You sound smart, you can easily be making double my average pay out of college doing something else. |
Thank you for posting this, wheelsup.
It is tough to make ends meet at first (and second, and third, etc). But if you want it, go for it. This site has plenty of airline pilots who have a ton of good info to share. The glam fades when your schedule gets changed by tracking, you're stuck at an outstation for six hours due to bad WX at your home base, you get re-assigned, then re-re-assigned, well...you get the idea.
At any rate, best of luck to you, ark angel! Keep us posted on your progress.
