Default Re: Is It Too Late to Look to Flying as a Career?

My point here is tell you to put away any romantic notions you have about this career. Put away the leather jacket and silk scarf. This is a business. Its purpose is to make money. As a pilot, you have a role in that purpose. You should start learning how the business of aviation operates.
Spot on. There is reality and then there is fantasy. Romantic quotes won't help on a 16 hour duty day with 6 legs. Learn about the reality of the business, take your time getting your ratings(no rush with no jobs out there), and family/friends first. Listen to those who have walked the walk. Flying a jet is fun, but getting paid what your worth is better...
