Seems that many people are under the impression that when one sticks to the pilot profession, eventually they will achieve that six figure income status. I have my doubts and my belief is that it is entirely dependant upon which avenue each person takes.

There are many out there who are in the know much more than I so I would appreciate any insight that you all may be able to provide. Please don't turn this into a "if you are in it for the money don't do it" or "we are pilots because we love to fly" thread.

Those arguments don't hold a full glass with me (only a half glass)! Like JTrain has said in the past, "the coolness factor" or "the fact that I can say I am a pilot does not pay my mortgage, keep food on the table or keep the wife happy". In the end, it does come down to cold hard cash and QOL, for everyone!
