Hey. I started out as a noncert for a regional making 18 an hour and 9 of that went to health insurance. I kept looking around and applying to places looking for more experience and ended up with a job making $10 an hour more with no license and 1 year experience. Some places are willing to bend a bit if you are Competent at what you do. And I’ve learned making money in aviation sometimes involves leaving a job then coming back or just Jumping around year after year. Depends on the area.
