I worked hard to get where I am in life, but I had a head start like most in aviation: I grew up in a middle income family with access to decent public education, a stable home life, and had no barriers to post-high school schooling. As much as we all would like to believe in the "bootstraps" logic, it's unrealistic and not enough for many to escape their lot in life. Some make it out and they should be admired and commended. Many do not, which is why we continue to see certain subsets of society to continue to struggle.

Yes, I sought out Delta pilots, talked to them. Even went to the Atlanta Chief Pilot's office and asked for advice. Corny as it sounds, it worked. Did the same for FedEx and it worked there too.
If bootstraps is all you have, then bootstraps are what you must use.
