So let me tell you instead, how in debt I am from this venture:

Cessna 150 bought before 1 hour of airplane training: $43500
CSEL/CMEL/instruments 141 training: $36400
Petrol: $2604
Insurance: $1300 (should be partially refunded)
Profits from selling plane: $3600
Resume review: $125
Emerald coast interview prep: $400
Raven airline app review (irony not lost on me): $300
Logbook software: $300+ and 3 different ones tried. Still not sure if I like what I got.
Checkrides: $1900
ATP-CTP: $3999
ATP written and study software: $225

Starting off at a home based cargo airline I never dreamed I'd get for my first venture into this profession. Pretty damn priceless.

How did buying the plane work out for you? I am starting training soon and a career changer so I was thinking of picking up a C150 or Cherokee and using it for training. Then keeping it to do some time building on slower CFIing months. I get mixed signals from people I ask, some think it's a great idea and some think its a horrible idea. Also I was told if it has to go down for maintenance of any kind I won't get it back for months due to shop backlogs. Did you have any issues or was it mostly smooth sailing?

If that is the case, it puts his pay per block hour into perspective. That would be true for anyone on reserve. Pay per day, where you count reserve days not used, would be a better metric in those situations.

Are you saying that your employer contributed the max allowable into your HSA? That’s about $7300?

just under $350k with 401k. Too lazy to look for average days off per month but it’s a lot.
Sooooo, was giving up the ability to checkerboard worth it??

no. I did. I was going to edit it but for some reason I can’t.
