"Whatever you do, here's a DO NOT list.... 1) DO NOT go to PFT places like Gulfstream or TAB 2) DO NOT make a plan and expect to be able to stick with it 100% in this business...things change hourly in aviation and you just have to roll with the punches. 3)DO NOT believe all those glossy ads in the magazines saying they'll get you an interview and/or a job in 6 months if you go through their program. The truth is, the only things that are going to help you in this business are personality, skill and ambition (you already have the last one). These things will get you a job regardless of where you train. 4) DO NOT get so focused on going to a regional in 2 months, that you forget why you're flying in the first place....there are a lot of jobs in this business. I've had students much like you with a 9 month plan, who ended up flying corporate or skywatch and are loving what they chose.....the regionals aren't the only road......"
