TD,

I am sorry if I come off as disrespectful. My aim is to slap some reality out there. Aviation is like a disease or addiction. What else could make a capable and gifted person throw 150K at a career (4 years of university plus 45K in flight training) to get a job someday that pays less than the post office.
Aviation isn't a dream anymore it is a fantasy. I have no doubt that in ten years all of us on this forum will be flying on the weekends and doing something else for a living. If I can help someone to make a clean break sooner then I have done my job.
