Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it. Funding the training is harder than learning to fly. After all these years I am so close I can taste it!

Don't let people say that you can't do it. I'm 28, flight instructing full time, and it took me 5 years to get through the training, still working on my MEI and have 600 hours total. If you have $30-$40K that you can come up with, fly full time somewhere there's good weather, get everything done in 6 months, then flight instruct for about a year, then apply. Not sure how the hiring will be in a year, but there's movement.

@joseftexas Go for it, live life to the fullest!!!!
-
@joseftexas you have 19 years until you retire........ that will be a hard thing to do if you want to get anywhere
-
@joseftexas Not to end up in a regional unless you have a great nest egg, a wife that wont be able to pull a pool boy while you're gone or no real reason to worry about being home. Regionals are terrible these days.

@joseftexas dont worry about the money do what you wont regret
-
@joseftexas Starting off now you will get paid 21,000-22,000 and If you wait out ten years the most you will make as captain is around 58,000 in a regional. You should have switched careers 20 years ago. Sorry man.
-
@joseftexas follow what makes you happy, if you dont atleast try you will forever wonder what if.......but be for warned its not a easy path and only do it if thats where your heart truly lies.

I am thinking of changing careers at 41 years old making 60,000-70,000/year to get into commercial aviation... Am I crazy?
None of the talk about the down side of the Airline biz scares me away from persuing this dream. I have been fascinated by Aviation since I was a kid but got into other types on business...
So, from you experienced pilots regional and otherwise... Is it worth it???
Sanity check anyone?
