Hey tintin and others,
Money is not the main motivation. I mean if it were i would take the path to become a doctor/lawyer like many of my friends.

I love flying i defiently have the "flying bug". Sittting at the airport by my house with my lawn chiar(in the summer) and just watching all those cessnas and king airs land and take off!!

Its somthing i would love to do. But im sure its possible to find a decent Fly job with Good pay and benefits overall. Compenstaion packages that are better than what i could find here in Canada etc.

Im just trying to get some insight here and how bad things are really but I see the culture here consists of sarcastic replies and just weird comments that i DONT get.

Its hard to tell when ppl ae trying to be funny/sarcastic on a forum.

Anyways im willing to sacrfice alot but at least in turn to have a decent life in the future. Its really not worth it, even if its somthing you love, to live such a different (and somtimes difficult) life and not get at least fairly compensated and treated with the respect u are due in your workplace. Airplanes are my life , If you guys could see my room....As i said, ALL my family on my dad's side are in the aviation in the ME. Not as pilots though.
