I'm okay with that. I am not the only one that had a bad time here. I was an enthusiast, once that waned there was no reason to stay. I traded the plane for a train and guess what. Trains provide much better employment and retirement opportunities than all but the very best aviation jobs. I'm just disappointed that I made such a big mistake and having to spend the rest of my career catching up financially. Ive kept up with some former coworkers, none are doing any better than they were fifteen years ago.

I have heard many different things that it will or will not help me down the road. I've also heard that corporate departments love sending A&p/ pilots over seas because if the tire or something blows than the American A&P can sign the work off. Also just got a part 135 gig, so going to school at Bakers in TN won't be a possibly for a little while, so if I go to the FAA right now, will the paper work they give me ever expire?

You'll likely need an appointment to see an airworthiness inspector for the 8610. Baker's is a prep for the test I believe. Should only take a week or two.
