On a typical fed-up-with-my-career-want-to-do-something-different day a few months ago I looked in to flight school. Sent away for info and talked to a rep at the PanAm flight academy. For roughly US$60k I could get a commercial, multi-engine, instrument instructor rating (the idea is that you teach to get as many hours as possible) with no prior ratings or experience. The tuition and living expense is easy to finance with loans so it was sounding like a good idea. I asked the school's representative what kind of salary a new pilot could expect "$18k to $20k" So much for my career change... -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
