i am guilty of this myself. Before I started training, all I could think was the airlines, the uniform, and whole "cool" part of being a pilot. Not that being a professional pilot is uncool (far from it), but aviation has so many other things to offer like getting a tail wheel or seaplane rating, flying gliders, getting into a Pitts Special and having some fun (if you have the guts), and most of all just enjoying being out there. The 90 day programs are tempting for sure, but I am not sure if you can experience the real deal if you went this route. Try to have some fun people.
