I wish you well friend but I just want to look out for you when I say this and I mean you no harm......BUT

You have "SJS" shiny jet syndrome.....What is "SJS" It's that fuzzy feeling you get every time you think about blasting off into the blue mixed with some of mother natures whites and that dream of endless sky in the horizon......I'll stop there and let you research the rest....just search for shiny jet syndrome on the forum and you will find out.......better yet burry yourself in the regional section and bring yourself up to par with whats going on in the industry. You will be happy you did!

It's your plan and I hope it does work out for you too, But we,as in the great folks on this forum will not lie to you about the truth of the industry. You will not find the truth from a flight school recruiter.

I would just like to point out that ATC could be a good career as well but like said before choose one or the other. It's tough enough to do one let alone both.....

Flying a 737 sounds great but dont go live in a dumpster to do so, and please do not buy into " The Dream " ........ Reality sunk in to alot of the 250 hour wonders when they started nodding off to sleep in the right seat of a regional just to be woken up by a radio voice " ABC 123 descend and maintain one six thousand " after 14 hours on shift 7 legs and a captain who was just as tired as they were. Good luck and fly safe
