I usually do not comment on KZbin, but this channel is a blessing. I spent 10 years in military aviation as a "navigator" and took a 7 year hiatus. Now, I will be starting my commercial pilot journey. Thank you for the podcast. I look forward to interviewing with you guys in the future. I have a couple of KZbin channels I will be launching this week. Last week, I passed the remote UAS pilot 14 CFR part 107 exam. This week, I'm working on the FAA exam. Keep up the good work, and I will keep you posted on my journey...

Mscott: taking action and making things happen! I love it!

You guys should try and interview Fly With Owen on this topic. Young guy that is flying gulfs.

[@JRadventures96]

I love watching Owen, but he's a 1 in a 1,000 cards lined up type of situation. Plus, I don't know this for fact, but people say his parents' money helped put him in the situation to afford it as well. I think what these guys lay out is the more realistic way of achieving it.

2023 my buddy on his challenger 350 did just under 500k that’s base salary with contract flying. His 350 flew only flew 190 hours last year so he did a lot is contract work.

Thank you...

Great podcast, as always! I really appreciate the step-by-step thought experiment and explaining the aircraft management concept. It always intruiged me. Also, he did mean to say dogged. :) He was trying to tell you that he is tenacious in his persistence and determination. Pronounced "Daw-ged." Anyway, love hearing all of the input as I'm CFI-ing my way to the next step. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers!

"Dawged" is an adverb that means marked by stubborn determination!

This is a fantastic episode guys. I really want to do the contract pilot route because of the flexibility, but this fills in some of the gaps. I was considering going the regional route for a year just to build turbofan time, and for the experience of CRM training, not to mention getting typed. I assume those things would be valuable to a corporate or private jet employer for insurance reasons and experience.

[@Will2FlyHigh]

Excellent episode, guys. Quick follow-up question: In terms of setting the management fee to manager a person's plane, does the fee only include your time, and then all the actual costs for the plane (maintenance, hangar, cleaning, etc.) is charged as a pass through? Thanks!

I wanna contract out to fly, count me in!!

[@topofthegreen]

you need over 4,000 hours to touch that type of money.

[@joshowens2219]

For someone on the fence between corporate and airlines. Which would you suggest trying first?

[@grantbunker1755]

Where can I get those shirts?
