akpilot,

I am only trying to point out that there is a price for everything. The costs get even higher as we get older and have more responsibilities. Sometimes we have to stay in that cubicle due to choices that have already been made. Its called the opportunity cost and it gets higher with every choice that we make in life. The opportunity cost is the opportunity lost. In this case if he chooses to follow an aviation career at 44 what he will probably loose a lot more than he is willing to.

I have been meaning to ask where you were in AK? I spent 7 years up there in 207's 185's dhc-2 and then I did a couple of years as a state of Alaska forestry contract pilot. All of my time was spent in the main part of the state.
