Turbo,
It says on your cedentials that your the one living the dream.
That is what they call "Facetious"
I re-read your post, and I see that you wrote "living on" not "making", so I assume that you fly at SWA and make considerably more than 30k.
And I didn't say anything about me making 70k, I made close to 90k this year, which is why I know 70k isn't so hot (because 90k isn't that great, either).
As far as moving on to a better paying job, I intend to when the oportunity comes. But there is a lot of luck involved. And, although I don't generally agree with Joe, I do agree that I shouldn't have to take that much risk to move on. Another reason why I need to make more than I do (or would as an FO at a major)- to make the risk palatable.
