65k a year, what a joke
>>2031985Kek i make 70k€ as an electrician with a 4day week.
I make $115k a year working from home as a web developer smoking weed and browsing 4chan all day lmaoooo
>>2031996>>2031988With all due respect, there’s not much difference between 70k (I can make up to 75 if I want to work which I will) and 110k. I need to be making 250k like the guy next to me with the exact same qualifications as me and I’m working harder
>>2032007Yeah pretty much this.I earned way less years ago and now im just able to save more. My lifestyle did not change at all. I still drive my shitbox and wear the same jeans for the last 10 years.Only thing i did is spend money on some bicycles and thats it.
I want to get into bush piloting how much did it cost schooling wise before you started getting work?
>>2032009It cost me 95k (68k USD) (my school was an hour and half away from my house)I finished with almost 0 debt because I was working full time while going to school full time. I finished in a year and 1 month. But I could’ve saved probably another 10k but going on a cheaper plane but it was just inconvenient and it’s like I have a social life or my life even matter
>>2032010Doesnt sound bad in terms of pricing but considering it took you a year how often a week were you getting flight hours?
>>2032011OMG I WRITE LIKE A RETARD. by* It’s not like I have a social life *
>Air Creebek guy actually hides the tail number in this picture.
isn't 65k like year 1 pay for skywest and year 1 is just like half indoc training then half line training
>>203198599% of pilots are literally glorified truck drivers of the sky.
Atleast you get some flight hours
>>2032034you can word everything into oblivion.astronauts are literally a bunch of overqualified nerds doing everyday science in a few tubes floating in orbit eating out of tubes.
>>2031985then quit, you whiny bitch
>>2032128What have you done?
>>2031985On the bright side, at least it is out of doors with amazing views. Every time I fly as a passenger I always stare out the window to observe the miracle of flight until nothing can be seen. The sky is my favorite place to be on Earth, I like heights and expansive vistas.
>>2031985I'm at 120k for a work from home gig. That being said no woman is ever going to fuck me when I tell her that I'm an IT guy, and nobody is going to mourn me when I finally off myself because I'm a shut-in weirdo now.
A good cub driver in alaska brings in 200k in 2.5 months. Clearing around 140-160k. I wouldn't recommend it tho
>>2032365Why not recommend? Do it for 2 years, park it in a managed account, and you can basically retire. Is it the misery, or the risk?
>>2031996$410k a year working on a very specialized type of software engineering. 5 day work week, 8-10 hour days
>>2032391It’ll take a mentor to get into it and it’ll take 3+ years building up a client base to be able to bill 150 hours a month. Obviously you have to have your own airplane and a smart person would have a back up just incase.
>>2031996same. i "work" max 1 hour a day. rest of the time is gooning.
>>2032223not constantly complaining about what I knowingly got my self into for one
>>2031985Aren't American pilots compensated much better. Seems like a really solid job for Americans. 300k a year to fly a nice plane a few times a month. Yea I get it, it probably gets routine after a while and being away from stinks, but you never take work home and you don't have to wake up at 9 and sit in a cubicle for 8 hours.
is non CFI route viable?
>>2031985It could be worse. You could be assigned as the only controller in an airport located in bumfuck nowhere, where the majority of flying stuff you'll see are the birds.
>>2032857depends on the type of flying. international means you're gone from home alot. if you stay continental (lccs or southwest airlines) you're not gonna be gone all that mcuch
I just started flight school. Any tips how to succeed best as possible? Im at part 141 and the pace is very *fast*
>>2031985>Ph.D. in Math>any job I want>$300k startingsucks to suck losers
>>2033033don't do it too much, don't do it too little
