Yep...that's sounds familiar ...DH's Embry Riddle degree and flight training was 100K , then his 737 type rating was 6K. I think Dh's first year salary was around 17K at the regionals and I think his 7th and last year he was making a little over 80K then we took a pay cut when he went to the majors last year. These boys have a lot of time & $$$ invested in their passion!
