Re: Best & Worst Paid Jobs in the World

Well, if you figure a "pole dance" can have a shelf life from say 20 to 35 conservatively. Thats 15 years of good money work. If she/he was to wisely live a modest life and invest they're maximum into RRSP's, TFSA, Real estate...etc, she/he would be able to easily retire at 35 to 40 and continue to ...

Re: What amount of money would bring you to a reserve to fly

I guess I'd rather miss out on all of that fun than miss my kids growing up, being home at night. Being able to make plans more than 2 days in advance is also a nice luxury, not to mention having good health benefits for my family and a decent pension package. These are all things that make up the g...

Re: What amount of money would bring you to a reserve to fly

The reason I got out of flying is because the salaries have been stagnant if not declined over the last twenty years. The future of aviation in my eyes isn't very bright. I wish I had listened to all of old crusty pilots when I was younger that said to "get a good job that pays well with decent time...

Re: most popular float trainer?

i guess i'd rather teach proper engine handling to students and just do that kind of training in a real environment. If a person gets a reputation as being rough on airplanes, their employability goes down the shitter pretty quick. but hey, what do i know.

Re: most popular float trainer?

i disagree, in my opinion, the cub is easier and more forgiving to fly on floats then the 172. The type of plane you learn on means sweet @#$! all, the instructor on the other hand, is by far more important.
