Tube driver or pilot ?
Quite simple really, you either want to be a pilot or you want to be a tube driver, if it's money you want don't do either ! No pilot in the company I work for earns less than 50k, the most senior F/O will get 95k, the most senior line capts 135K, some trainers earn more. Don't expect too much when you come out of flying school with your brand new licence and on the other hand don't be drawn into short term money on the tube for long term regret if you really desire to be a pilot. Things take a little time, with time and experience the outlook gets a brighter !!!!
