I must not be up on my internet slang. What's TYFAYD?

Well, for Houston you'd be looking at SkyWest or Mesa. SkyWest has better FO pay after year 1, Mesa has a faster upgrade.

Mesa Houston EJET. Get in now, upgrade, get out. End of story.

If you want TL;DR go back to Reddit. This isn't Reddit.

My apologies for coming off arrogant. It must seem as though I think I'm above doing your job (I'm not). The reality for me is that pay here is soul crushing. I've done the very best I can and still can't shake the feeling that maybe I should do something else. I've been lurking on various forums since about 2008 when I started and I try to keep myself grounded and understand that this job won't be all sunshine and roses. The stubborn part of me never gave up the dream after I was $10,000 into a private pilot certificate. I then chose to continue and finish all the way to a commercia/cfi FW license leaving me in the hole for $75,000.

I've already committed this far and I can't help but feel like I should at a bare minimum give the airlines a shot. I realize that there are more lucrative career options but the freedom to travel is what attracts me the most. My family is very spread out all around the country so hopping a jump seat to wherever they are seems awesome. I'm slowly developing a fallback career.

What is this, Flightinfo? Hello mods...?

Am I ruffling some feathers with my post? I just read back through the rules and I don't see anything that would prohibit my posting. I'd love an explanation on some of these posts that are seemingly upset. I'm a reasonable person.

Ya, ok, cowboy.
