At this point you need to quit your job completely and try to live off what you can make as a new pilot. Get into the grind. Start selling off your possessions to pay the rent. See for yourself the huge stack of resumes that every aviation company has. Then come back here and tell us that we are crazy.

If you really love aviation as much as you say then tomorrow is a waste unless it is spent in a plane. You have no excuses. Anything less than total commitment would be a disservice to your lifelong passion and ardent position of total aviation love.

The rest of us here have already done that. Now it is your turn.
