I plan on being with a larger carrier by the time I am 36 and if you can't live on 60-80 G a year doing something as awesome as flying everyday then tell me how the poor prick working at Wal Mart ...

You guys/gals.... are really starting to scare me..... it sounds like almost 80% of you, wish you never chose aviation for a career? Is there no passion for the flying? or is it really that bad, that your passion is gone????????

Is this the reality of the situation in aviation, no matter what route you take, for real? RCMP wage: Year 1 45k Year 2 55k Year 3 65k Then around 70k for next 7 years gives you $655 000 Now give Gov half you have $327 000 Have a nice house mostly paid off and your own little C172 at the airport to ...

I dont Understand what you mean by this at all?...... Please elaborate. The reason i ask, is bc im getting into aviatin to have an exciting and travel oriented career.... not the same old Sh*t different day job..... Dude ! either you're in or you're out. And more importantly, don't have high expecta...

I just decided to go to flight school at age 26, shell out the 60,000$ (ie. go in debt) Soooo Im just wondering , what am i sigining up for here??.... STRAIGHT UP.... I need the goo...

Holy... SH*T!! that is wild..... DOes it take the sameammount of time in fixed wing? and is the pay as bad?
It was 5yrs working seasonal ground crew jobs before i got a flying position.[/quote]

Im just about to get into my flight training. My whole life i have been focussed on fixed wing aircraft, and now feel as if i may have not given helicopters enough thought. So i have 2 questions for all of yah. if you dont mind? 1.) why would one choose a career in flying choppers over fixed wing? o...

Do most schools give a base salry?

This is probably a really dumb question, but im new to all of this. Are you saying that it was way better to get a job flying in alberta as opposed to northern canada? and secondly, Where did you move? you said the dark continent... im preety sure i know which one this is.. but to be sure where is t...

Sooooo, should i be gong to FLight school in JAnuary 2009, with the intention of graduating in jan 2010.... So ill be fresh out of pilot school in a year and a half from now....

So the general feeling im getting here.... is that .... Instructing is NOT the way too go if i want to break into Multi IFR time building as quickly as possibe (ie make Myself a valuable pilot to companies in the air industry/ advance faster). It seems to me, that the general consensus is to move no...

Thankyou, Thats the thing... After 2 years of flying , I will prob have the 1500 hours for the ATPL... so the question is... do i pay an extra 6000$ to get the integrated ICPL.... as opposed to the CPL.... but for that extra 6000$ , I have an ATPL written completed and frozen, which is automatically...

Yes PEair does not pay well however. 20K is all s...

Yeah, thats what i was worried about if i only did 200 hours of ground school in the mod course(as compared to the 400 hrs in the integrated).... That i would end up shelling out a bunch more money for private lessons/briefings from an instructor because i wouldnt understand a lot of the stuff that ...

ohhh, damnnn.... So how long did you have to ramp for with PE air before getting into F/O position?? and how much do you generally make when ramping?? and do they not pay you well, when you start flying?? Cheers ;) Nope, I was a ramp rat. But making no money and ramping to pay for trainnig and make ...
