They're not my stats I got them off the web. $33/hour is 66K a year before taxes, assuming no overtime. I believe the stats though include a wide range/average of nurses, not just the one who left you. Besides, maybe she has bigger tits than you.
Oh she most def has bigger tits than me, but matching your DDs might be tough for her. So, again, how many first year pilots make 66k? Thought so
Asked and answered, although you would have to define "first year". First year primary flight instructor - none. First year major airline - plenty.
RCG, let me try again. Are you trying to make an income argument? An intellectual argument? A which profession is better argument? You are bouncing all over the place. No man, most pilots who do not go through the military have it pretty tough. They work their ass off for next to nothing for years to build flight hours to move up the chain. Do you have a problem with that? So now your anti-hard work? Great, join the hope and change 2012 campaign for Obama. You can help hand out the welfare cards.
I've flown choppers. I know they're apples to oranges an airplane, but I can assure you a chopper isn't something a kid couldn't fly. Btw, you have about $4M I can borrow? I have my eye on a Bell 427 I can get for $4M which is a DEAL! This thing will rock n roll with two Pratt n Whitney 700+hp (each!) turboshafts @ 160mph, carry 7 passengers, plus me and another pilot. Damn! You guys are killing me! I'll be calling around tomorrow to see if I can arrange a chopper for some weekend fun. But it's ALWAYS a $$$$ ouch kind of fun! Four figures of ouch.:eek:
Choppers look like they'd be fun, once you got the hang of it. I've never even been in one. Frankly though I think they have too many critical moving parts.
DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!! The minute you take the stick in a fast chopper, you'll be hooked! It's like a drug! And that's one expensive drug!:eek: :eek: :eek: And yes, a mechanical problem at 3,500 ft is something that will make your a** pucker. I've had transmission issues before, and that always gotten my attention. I'll never forget my days in the Marine Corps flying off the deck of a carrier on the CH-46 Sea knight. If one of the rotors doesn't want to cooperate...:eek: J/K. You should go flying sometime with an experienced pilot. It's FUN!
