Jonah,
Check this thread out.
Also, not to brag or anything, but I made WAY more money than any of my buddies that went elsewhere because I chose to work a lot (which is not an option when you are paid salary). From what you are saying it doesn’t seem that you are planning on flying exaggerated hours like I did, but I just wanted to let you know that it is available if you choose to.
