145k to fly a bus on red eye flights, that you’ll earn a similar amount in your first year of working. Or the same amount of money to get a CPL and head Bush to fly a 210.
As much as I loved my time in the bush. I’d be a million dollars better off if the cadet program was around when I started. Not to mention better seniority and earlier wide body promotions and command opportunities.
You’d be crazy not too.
