Pick a date, let’s say Sept 1st.
From now till then work 24/7, take all the overtime you can get and save as much as you can.
Then drop the job that pays the least and takes the most amount of time and keep the one that pays the most in the least amount of time.
Start trading annuals and General MX work fro flight time on the owners airplane.
They can sit in if they prefer as long as you get the stick time.
An annual on a PA 28 should net you about 10-12hrs flight time.
Start studying for your CFI before you ever start training for your CPL.
Find a brutal instructor that’s will combine CPL/CFI with you.
Keep fixin and flying.
You may run into an owner that doesn’t feel comfortable flying alone anymore.
Maybe you’ll never need your CFI but it’s a good thing to have.
Go for it, give it all you have and never look back.
