March 3, 200520 yr Author sarcasm, idiot. how much do pilots make? because if they make a lot i must investigate this career when I grow up. right out of college, MAYBE youll make 25k after 20 years, youll be pulling down 250k gotta be in it for the long haul
March 3, 200520 yr xDenialx']right out of college, MAYBE youll make 25k after 20 years, youll be pulling down 250k gotta be in it for the long haul yea but 25k a year for ~20 years :( :dunno:
March 3, 200520 yr Author yea but 25k a year for ~20 years :( :dunno: naw. 25k for like 2 years doing bitchwork, then a nice bump to 50 or 60 flying regional airlines for 5-10 years then another big jump to like 100-120k flying for the big airlines, adn then its just up and up as you get older. and its something you love to do, or else you wouldnt be doing it in the first place. i derno how old you are or whatever, but believe me, making 25k in a job you love is way better than making 25k in a job you hate.
March 4, 200520 yr I guess, but the two years you make 25k, are you actualy flying planes? or do you do shit like ATC?
March 4, 200520 yr Author I guess, but the two years you make 25k, are you actualy flying planes? or do you do shit like ATC? hahaha yes you fly. this is the first and last ATC course i will ever take. first year out of college, most people end up being flight instructors for the same college they graduated from.
March 4, 200520 yr xDenialx']hahaha yes you fly. this is the first and last ATC course i will ever take. first year out of college, most people end up being flight instructors for the same college they graduated from. :O! well goodluck then, sounds like a fun job. do you know what airline you're gonna be flying yet?
March 4, 200520 yr Author :O! well goodluck then, sounds like a fun job. do you know what airline you're gonna be flying yet? no idea. hell, airlines that are around now may not even exist when i graduate. i try not to put the cart ahead of the horse anyway.
