Well, no matter what anybody says, I am going to try as soon as I have completed my training, which isn't far off. I know for a fact that my school can't hold on to instructors because they are realizing that they didn't even need to CFI or they only needed to do it for a few months. If I can skip that step, I am going to. I am fairly certain that I can handle 121 operations, and can't wait to prove critics wrong. I feel like a lot of people do in aviation; that they were born to fly and catch on to new situations quickly.
BTW, I am from an aviation family. My uncle went to the Air Force Academy, flew F-16s for 12 years, and is now a CA for Southwest. My father was in the air force as an F-16 mechanic, so I have been around this stuff for a long time. I always wanted to start flying before college, but I didn't have the means.
Thanks for the advice though guys!
