Now see this is what you do, Put 50% in the bank, the other 50% in your pocket and live at home with the parentals!
That way, when you get the axe, and it will happen, You got some cash as reserves, and Lets face it, mom can cook better than me...
Wanna date? go for it, just go back to her place, not yours!
Speaking from experience here lads!

I know it's not the smartest thing just to major in commercial aviation, but flying is the only thing I can see myself doing in the future. I'll never be a business man. I just want to fly. Theres jobs all over the place, you just have to be willing to move around. Heck, if I get furloughed, i'll go up into alaska and fly in the bush, or possibly find some sort of smaller charter job in a twin...
Good luck to you, the industry will tuen around, it always does...only takes a while. We go through this crap every 5-7 years. You will hit the job market at the right time and get with an RJ program.

I'm not sure what would be cheaper...getting married or just spending it on hookers and booze. Maybe 1800 can tell us the current rates in HKG

Congrats man.
I got my private in 94 and decided to make a career out of it in 99. I finished all my ratings right after 9/11. I paid my dues and 7 years later I am flying a King Air and loving it. I also got my A&P IA which helped a lot. That was on the advise of a Fedex captain he said I would never have to worry about work and he was right.
