The bad news is it will take at minimum 2 years before you get to that point. If you are single and really want to fly for a living, this question should be moot. If you have other distractions that affect your decision making, well then you need to think those things through and determine what is most important to you. Good luck.
I appreciate your response. I just wasn’t sure what was happening in the aviation world, I’m not in it yet. I have heard a lot about different incidents and I see things on media about different airlines going through different things like Southwest. And I have no idea what’s going on of course I’m not there. I just want to make a good decision and not spend all the time and money if it would be a flop from my current career.
