It would help if you didn't quote material from another poster that violates the TOS next time

I wanna to extend a sincere thank you for all the responses.

Welp....I'm certain that all that time I've spent and will continue to spend on APC and MS FSX coupled with some intense reading and studying will pay off.

Thanks again guys!

Blue skies.

My immediate family already knows.

It's been a long road. And now the real work starts. HIMS program is being constructed for me by HIMS AME that will sponsor me and I have to see an agency referred therapist for 6 months. Therapy & flight training will be concurrent.

I just wanna thank a few people:

HSLD, Freight Dawg, rickair777, SkyHigh, 11Fan; Cubdriver; Diver Driver; USMCFLYR, LAFrequentflyer; ctd57; tomgoodman; Ewfflyer, HercDriver130, DYNASTY HVY, Vagabond and yes...even RedEyeAv8r.

Thanks for all the silent prayers and support!

I can't type anymore. My eyes are clouding up.


Respectfully,



Marcus

After seeing how you hard you have struggled to obtain a green light for an aviation medical so long now and seeing how much you want it, I could not be happier for you Marcus. Your determination is commendable, whether you become and airline pilot or not.

Of course becoming one is no picnic and you have lots of struggles ahead. I have been doing one form or other of commercial flying for over 6 years, and I am still trying to obtain a decent gig. It's truly a challenging profession even for the best of us. You can't win without playing.

Stick with it, and darned glad you are still around ATP. Nothing like having a purpose in life. You're not a quitter, that's for sure!
