Its interesting that you have to have an A&P ticket to fly with these guys.
Room and board will probably be the maximum if you want to fly in Africa
or South America. Checkout http://www.jaars.org/aviation.shtml
If I was "unencumbered" I would fly for JAARS you will never forget the
experience and you will see parts of the world that most never will.
BTW, driving a cab pays better than most flying jobs.
