LAFF - I did say ATP, the flight training school. Are you familiar with them?
ATP is expensive but you get what you paid for - ratings in 90 days.
There are alternatives but with FBOs you're taking a chance you'll get ripped off.
Its best to research , visit the places then decide where you will go.
At your age a career is an option. Just remember you'll be at the regionals and may not get to the majors.
Have you been funding retirement all these years?
If you have why not get the career flying for the airlines?
I've been putting money away in TSP (government 401) and Roth IRA, own one home, paying off the second one, wife is finished school and working, etc... preparing for a career at the airlines. I'll be 40 when I start. Its possible just need to be prepared thats all.
