Thanks for sharing... :(

But on a positive note, I fly into TMB frequently.

Go for it, Eddie! Make a goal for yourself and get going. Flying sure working for a living.

I started when I was 15 and I'm an airline pilot. Many people on this forum will tell you not to. If you want to be a pilot, do it and don't listen to them. Good luck. Where is TMB?

KTMB is in Miami, FL.

Stay with it bud I was in your spot once. Everyone that complains about flying being too much work never grew up as a ricefarmer lol. I've been flown to death it feels like sometimes but never did I want to quit and go work on the farm shoveling levees.

My line of thought is simple. You can either do what you love for work and hate it. Or do something you really hate and really hate it lol.. Ex. Today I was hungover. Now I could have just stayed home like I wanted to. But then I was stuck with the choice to either stay at home hungover and hate myself for what I did the night before. Or go to the casino and be hungover there. While I wasn't 100% at the casino it sure was more fun. I sat down with $60 and walked away with $201 too playing texas holdem w00t!

Explore the profession and lay your expectations on the table. This career can demand an awful price. Insure that you are prepared to give what it may ask of you.

And be sure to learn a marketable trade (with a college degree, if possible), aside from flying. Even the best airline job can vanish, or you might fail a physical exam some day. Good Luck! :)
