Correct. This is good advice, especially coming from someone who actually made it to the airlines. To succeed in aviation, you have to be the go-getter type. Ignoring the obstacles ahead and ignoring those who try and deviate you. Everything requires sacrifices; nothing is going to be handed down to us.

I like the way you think CalCapt, it is clear why you made it into the major's. I want to become an Airline Pilot, and I can see past the hard years in the regionals (like someone said, regionals are not the pinnacle of our careers, they are stepping stone’s for something better). I one day hope to be able to fly 787's for Continental or any of the legacy carriers.
