How realistic is commuting to the east coast though? I dont mind not being home much, but I dont want to pay rent on a place I will only be at three days a month.
300 hrs isn't jack. It is kinda like screwing when you are a teenager. You think you got it down and are pretty good. Many years later you realize you didn't know anything.
With you 300 hrs, you are going to get your lunch handed by you by a check airmen on IOE when he lets you in on how much you don't know.
blasting thru the skies @ 300 kts and you still sitting back in row 14 is a humbling experience.
Giving IOE in the RJ you could easily tell a 1500+ guy vs a 1000/100 hr guy. Granted there is always the exception to the rule, but they a FEW and far between.
Get your CFI and "learn" to fly.
Good luck in your flying and sit back and realize 300 hrs is a long way from knowing how to fly.
