How many pilots wished they had spent a career at McD's? How many doctors, lawyers, cpa's, engineers, etc. wished they were pilots.
Follow your dreams my friends, follow your dreams. Even if I had not won the mega lotto and gotten hired at FDX I would have stayed in the game. It's what I do, and who I am. Not an airline pilot, but a pilot.
Can't wait to get in the left seat of that 777.
