Pay is a bit less then i'm making now, but at least the job is a lot cooler!! Rather fly for less then work my miserable desk job for more. "If you love what you do, you never work a day" Right?
Wrong! If people weren't so keen on instant gratification then the companies that exploit your willingness to fly for bugger all would have to pay...more than bugger all.
