I have given up the bug to fly airliners, I was supposed to go to ARI-BEN last March to do the Military Helo to Airline pilot program. I recieved the VA bennies but could not secure a student loan to pay for it up front. So I sent out my resume and landed a job flying EC-135's in the EMS community. I am flying for a living, I am home every night, and I started out @60K as a Capt. Although it is not fixed wing I am living my dream.
