Man, with what we make… I should be able to afford a whole lot more than I do
A few months ago, I was sitting in a crew room listening to two pilots talk about bases, upgrades, and pay bumps. Nothing unusual. But then one of them said:
“Man, with what we make… I should be able to afford a whole lot more than I do.”
That line stuck with me. Because honestly… I'd had the same thought before.
Have you ever looked at your pay scale, your base, your schedule, and quietly wondered:
Am I actually building wealth the way I SHOULD be at this stage of my career?
If you’ve ever had that question — so did I. And I started noticing something interesting:
Two pilots with the same paycheck can have completely different levels of affordability, savings, and long-term stability… depending on seat, base, and timing.
When I started comparing real data across FO → Captain paths…The differences were honestly surprising.
So I put together something special:
A fully filled-out example of the tool The Pilot Wealth Snapshot so you can see EXACTLY what your own numbers could look like
Zero Forms.
Zero spreadsheets.
Just clarity.
