Before everyone jumps down this guys throat remember not too long ago when we were all enamored with the idea of flying big jets and making a quarter of a million dollars a year. WE'VE ALL THOUGHT ABOUT IT AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. Just think about this; if everyone knew when they were at the experience level (or lack thereof) of this guy, that it was going to be as difficult as it is, there darn sure wouldn't be as many pilots. He has the same dream we all did and he has the same partially unrealistic goals we all once had. I think we all know the reason we maintain the dream follow the path no matter how steep or rocky it gets. I think we owe it to him to give him straight answers and encouragement that Salty Dog gave.
