SkyHigh. Chill dude, your killing my buzz. Well, you make me laugh anyway. Sure, pilots are getting hosed right now, but things have a way of working out if you stay positive and keep your eyes open. atpwannabe, just get your private, if you like it, get your intrument, and so on. Baby Steps. You can make a good career flying a cessna, despite what those with shiny jet syndrome will tell you. Will you get rich, no, will you have hard times, yes. But at least you won't get old working in a cubicle while you think what may have been.
