Such good advice from you all and some interesting points. Who knows who will cross my path, but it occurred to me that I'm increasing my chances of meeting a pilot just because I'd be immersed in that atmosphere. The plan now is to do exactly what @AKpilot suggested. Do my thing, and enjoy life and career a bit. The rest will come
@flygirl: it was nice to hear your perspective
@directto: for now, I'm feeling that corporate may be the right fit for me, but I'm keeping an open mind where the airlines are concerned.
