Hello all,
I am a DXR who is thinking about finally obtaining my long term goal of being a professional airline pilot. I originally got my DXR ticket to have as a fall back incase I lost my medical. I was offered a DXR position with a 121 supplemental freight company following completion of my training and have been in the industry since 2005. I have always wanted to fly for a living and I am the only one of my group of friends who is not flying. I know I will have to take a pay cut initially but in the long run I will make more as a pilot than a dispatcher. Top out in dispatch is around $50k-$80k/yr depending on the company you are with. My only major concern is QOL and high cost of training.(i only have about 37hrs under my belt). I currently commute now so that’s not an issue. I really appreciate the feedback and please NO POST/JOB BASHING! :smash:
Thanks
Otis
