Original Message thinking but stretch your research back to the seventies when helicopter pilots were plentiful and paid a wage that wouldn't come close to supporting a small family. Obviously I was one of them. Things improved but not flying for operators, had to go corporate. In today's dollars salaries then were in the 300 - 450k range. Yeup, fact! Moral of the story is it's all about purchasing power which has eroded significantly in the last 30 years even in the corporate sector. |
