Good luck!
Good point. On the other hand, I look at it as a worthwhile challenge. How serious am I about this? It's a small hurdle to have to jump to get a chance to do a type of flying I've never done. Compared to my previous job where I had to have a B737 type rating just to get an interview, a few hours in a 172 isn't much to ask.
