Re: So you want to be a Pilot....

So true, but just remember one thing guys. Unlike any other job where the amount of ones pay is most likely a direct correlation to ones education, knowledge, and ability to handle a complex job, these guys who are flying these planes for basically nothing, are doing so because they truly love their job, and have spent the time, money, and energy to get the education and experience to handle the complex job of flying an airplane.

So true. One of my closest friends has been flying since he was 15, he's now 40 and making peanuts flying for American. He's got an engineering degree but fly's for the love of it even though he has crap hours, sacrifices time with his young family and works like a dog. Good thing his wife has a good and stable job!
