First paycheck as CFI!

[ryan4sail]

Just got my first one.. So stoked to finally be getting paid to fly an airplane.. Totally tripping out about it. I used to pay thousands of dollars to do this and now I'm getting paid to do it! In the past two weeks I've logged 46 hours of flying time, so I couldn't be happier

Not sure whether to congratulate or apologize

I agree, it is a good feeling to finally see the money go the other way

It's a good feeling...I remember my first time. On this note I was jumpseating home yesterday and the captain told me this:
Flying is very much like sex. In the beginning,you'll fly for anyone, anywhere, with anything. Then you'll only fly for certain people and certain things, and at the end, it's only for the money.
He told it better than I did but you get the point

You'll get sick of it in due time. Just enjoy it while it lasts.

A day with my worst student is better than a day slinging bags and sucking in diesel fumes. Just saying!

I do as well. But sometimes, I can't wait to get back on the ground.
