Realistically even hustling you are going to need two years to get to where you would become eligible for an Airline Transport Pilot rating and a regional airline job. Figure you will be at the regional for an additional three years (earning probably $70K a year during that time) before you will be competitive for a lower tier major or an additional year to be competitive for an upper tier major, all assuming a clean training record, no DUIs (hey, I know why they call the drink a Boilermaker), no visible tattoos or piercings, etc. but during that time you still will probably have to pick up an online four year degree to get really competitive at the upper level. Fortunately you will have many nights in hotel rooms where you can get the degree done without impacting your family life.
So basically you are looking at about a six year effort if you work at it, followed by a 20 year career making pretty decent money and being off about two weeks out of every month.
It is what it is. Get buy-in from the spouse before you say yes.
