At 350hrs I was flying banners, 500feet off the water at 55mph in a 150 with the OAT 93 degrees and 90% humidity...50 hours a week... oh ya any making $10/hr... would you like to do that for free? It's all you man! That's maybe 1% of the dues I have yet to pay in my career... but it got my TT up from 250 to about 850 in 3 1/2 months, not bad right out of college, and was a fun flying experience (looking back on it now)... sounds like this poor boy wants everything served to him on a big silver platter...
