Do all the real professional aviators a favor and take that "I don't need to make money" attitude to walmart.
We need to expect more if we are to get more. |
Come on, man. Low expectations keeps me in the ladies!
The reasons the airlines aren't handing out fist of cash-F.O.s mommy and daddys already bought them their IPOD and had their tips frosted for them. After that everything else is petty cash for light beers and lime wedges (pre-sliced no less).
That being said, my first freight gig paid $30+ the first year and I've been gaining by leaps and bounds since. This year I'll pull in close to $50+. THERE IS MORE TO AVIATION THAN REGIONALS.
