It seems like GA is now reserved for the rich...(Only way it's affordable is to fill the seats and have everyone pay) So I figure why not give it purpose rather than simple enjoyment? Why not make it my career?
That brings me to another point... What about all the 135 jobs that might pop up once these VLJ's and the like hit the market? My mind is open to anything flying... airlines or not.
Do it if you want it. All we're doing is telling you what it is like in reality. If you can read all this stuff, close your eyes and put yourself there, and you still want it, what else can the world ask of you? Go do it.
As far as the flying, it never gets old to me. I love flying. But, its the other stuff that makes it a rough and tumble career choice.
