I am currently a SSgt in the US Marines. I have been a turboshaft engine mech for the majority of the time. I get out in July of 2007 and would like to know the best way to become a airline pilot. I have looked at numerous academys mainly Delta Connection Academy and Pheonix East Aviation. I have my GI bill to pay for most of the tuition so I have to attend a formal school to get the benifits. My main question surrounds starting out. I have a wife and a 3 yr old daugter, am I getting over my head? I have always wanted to fly and I don't want to give up on my dreams, but if it puts my family at risk I don't want to chance it.
