There seems to be so much more to flying than I ever expected.
Most of your hours will not come from your training. There are a lot of ways to actually build up the time to be competitive. A lot of people that graduate from 141 schools turn around and instruct at their school to build hours. But you can also fly traffic watch, dump skydivers, pipeline patrol, and other various entry level jobs to build your time.
There is a wealth of information contained on this site about what your getting yourself in to. It would probably be a really good idea to read the sticky's that HSLD puts up, and also do a search for any of the questions you might have.
