Are you paid enough as a helicopter pilot???  

Actually, yes, I am. I make a pretty decent wage. More than most from what I gather in this industry. No, it’s not airline money but for what I do, I’m pretty satisfied. Family is important to me so I’m home every day and get to hang out with my kids a lot. I don’t do a lot at work. I watch YouTube, take a walk, talk to a friend on the phone, make lunch. Oh, a call…. Ok, I’ll go fly my helicopter around from point A to B and then back home. Didn’t really do a lot of “work”. Used my nugget for a second or two but that was about it. The point is, I’m happy. I don’t need to make airline money to be happy. Would it be nice? Sure, but I don’t NEED to make it to be happy and satisfied with my life. My suggestion to all of you who are angry about your salary, find some zen. If that’s with the airlines, so be it. For me, a job in which I really don’t work all that hard, make a pretty decent wage and live a good life are good enough for me. Namaste.
