I went and got all my certificates to become a pilot for hire after the damn AF rejected me due to some asthma BS. Although about 1/2 through my IR training I felt it just wasn’t what I wanted to do. Never finished my COM. Should go back and do that but again, $$$$

For sure man, flying is very expensive. 172 is like at least 90 an hour now or some shit, probably more.

I’ve actually been doing more avionics as of late, I’ve always liked wires, plus it’s much cleaner work, and pays better.
