Call me dumb but I know of guys that are currently doing this and said the hell with being a professional bus driver working for minimum wage.

Besides the fact that making 85k a yr won't even come close to affording an SR22 you should probably just forget the airlines entirely if you think it's merely a bus driver position.

Hahaha 300k. I just about spilled my coffee. Depending on the options you choose an SR22 will run you 600-700K new and a descent used one still well over 400K. 85k thousand a year will buy you a nice picture of one though

Thank You! If you think you are a glorified bus driver as a pilot you need to find another career. We aren't astronauts but this is still a professional career that should be treated with a high level of professionalism. Young FO's please stop wearing hoodies and beats headsets with your uniform. You want professional pay, then ACT like a professional. Rant over

Well, let's see...my dad is Indian, I've been there more times than I can count, and I've lived and worked across SE Asia. So yes, I am vaguely aware that they are separate countries.
