It is better to be lucky than good in regards to aviation.
Never give up on a dream...You have started another dream...Being in Business for yourself...Don't give up on this one SkyHigh...Hopefully it will work for you this time...I know a guy who sells hotdogs...He also owns a CE550...lol...So anything is possible...All I wanted out of aviation was to fly the L-1011...I not only flew it, but flew every model from the -1 to the -500...Everything I do now in the airlines is just for fun, even though I get paid for it...I agree the regionals are a dead end job if you paid 100k to get the job, but I also know guys making ok money flying for the regionals too...And they have a good family life with no reason to go to a major...So I don't agree that money can't be made flying for the airlines...It's all about being smart with your money...I know a shop clerk in Atlanta who is an hourly employee with my airline...This person also has over 800K in a 401K...Dang...Now that's smart money in any book...lol...Cheers
