Consistent with my philosophy of living with no regrets, I'm determined to make a serious, solid effort at achieving this particular goal rather than letting it permanently slide.
Excellent! I am 44 and start ATP/CTP this week. Got into the game in the 90's but stayed out as it wasnt a great time to pursue being an airline pilot. Good times for those of us getting back into after having solid other careers. Nice plane you are building as well!
