Default Chances?

Everyone has a chance. You need to ask yourself just what you are willing to loose in the attempt and realise that your odds are very long. Myself and others feel that even a motivated 22 year old has a one in 20 chance at best. The probability is that you will wake up someday at 42 living in a slum apartment with 5 other pilots while your peer group is raising families and building retirement accounts and wonder how you got there.

The pay is low, job security is non-existent, chances are long and it will take the sacrifice about everything else in your life that you hold dear to get anywhere close. However everyone does have a chance.
