Worth the struggle
Currently fly helicopters with 3,300TT, 3,2300PIC, 1,500turbine, 200night.
Considering a transition to the airlines due to lack of salary potential, quality of life and longevity in career, retirement, medical benefits and potential career advancement.
I am 32 and willing to grind it out. If I could get to majors by 40 it would be worth it. Looking at retirement projections and market growth I think this is attainable. Even if only to be FO with a legacy would be worth it.
I'd love to hear everyone's input.

Typical estimate to be in the 'qualified' range from zero hours takes 8-10 years (5000-7500 TT fixed wing).
Even if it takes you 13 yrs you should have a decade, or more, at most of the majors.

Four year degree? If not apply to AA wholly owned (WO) regionals. Guaranteed flow. Maybe 7-13 years?

Who do you work for and how have you gotten there?
