Why would you not fly for another four years? Look, I know that this all seems overwhelming, but it is doable. First, I'll openly admit that I'm an old guy. I'm getting close to retirement. But I did what you want to do when I first started my run at the airlines. On accident, by the way. I wanted to be an army helicopter pilot when I started flying. But I went to school full time and at one point in time held down 4 part time jobs to make it all work. And I flew. I flew a lot.
How bad do you want it?
