So my fixed wing ATP is worth $150k... to START? Hilarious!

Well, my neighbor is an ATP and flys private jets for corporate
clients. That's what he makes even though he isn't really exercising
his full license.

The point is not to state the exact salary someone will make with a
particular license, the point is that heli licenses cost twice as much
and yeild jobs that pay half as much.

Do that many ATP heli pilots make over $75K a year? From what I hear,
the answer is no. Even those with their own heli businesses - once
they deduct the cost of the helicopter, I doubt they are rolling in
the dough.
