Its all about the training. Having been military trained, I found my self with just over 200 hours flying in the right seat of a C130 all over Europe and the middle east. Even saying that I am pretty surprised at the lowered mins many of the regionals are touting these days. Every person is different. What you dont want to happen however is to go to training and then washout.

i agree...also get your education...that is a big point being missed here...i was flying lears at 19 and had a full time job offer..turned it down to finish college...i'm 38 know and been at FDX for 13 years..best decision i made was to finish school and know i am on goal to retire very young... what matters in this profession is how young you retire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
also i met a pinnacle pilot the other day with no college and has been there for 21 years..worst thing he said he did is not go to school...now i have to get back to my 8 weeks off..remember to see the big picture...good luck to you all...
