Westwind call you?

So were all those ads just to evaluate the vast employment market? Did anyone actually call or get called? A simple yes/no will suffice.

iv heard CMA is even lower, and your based in the pricey rat race of ycc. If your in this for the money, you choose the wrong career.

Re: Mean pay for Airline Pilot: $134,090
