If I can skip that step, I am going to. I am fairly certain that I can handle 121 operations, and can't wait to prove critics wrong. I feel like a lot of people do in aviation; that they were born to fly and catch on to new situations quickly.

BTW, I am from an aviation family. My uncle went to the Air Force Academy, flew F-16s for 12 years, and is now a CA for Southwest. My father was in the air force as an F-16 mechanic, so I have been around this stuff for a long time. I always wanted to start flying before college, but I didn't have the means.

Thanks for the advice though guys!
