me,

I think that most people would be happy flying a jet, period. It doesn't necessarily have to be a big jet.

With that aside I think the next thing to consider is terms & conditions and lifestyle. I make no apology in wanting to be paid well. I have many friends in various other industries that take jobs or move on for better pay. The bottom line is that flying an aeroplane is a job for me. I need a job to survive and make ends meat. Granted I do love my job and have a genuine passion for it, but should I settle for low salary and poor conditions because of it? I have read on these forums people saying "if you really love flying you won't care how much you get paid". I am sorry, but love alone won't pay the mortgage and feed the wife and kids!

By the way, I am not having a dig at you. I am just telling it as I see it.
