Hello,

Just joined this forum. I'm an old guy (relative to you) with the same dream to fly for an airline, and I'm changing careers for this new adventure. It maybe a case of the classic "mid-life crisis" but after being in my present career for 20 years I realize it's now or never to live another dream. I've had low incomes and I've had higher incomes and everything being equal I'd rather have higher income. However, when things aren't equal and you dread going to work, the balance tips. I remember the passion felt when beginning the first career as a physician. As I begin this new adventure essentially from zero hours to airline pilot, that same passion is burning in my gut.

It's the same thing you have buring in your gut. We're sort of all "in the same boat" (though I'm old enough to be your dad), with the same purpose, same goals, same passion. The people on this forum seem to understand that. There's a general atmosphere of helpfulness and kindness. Thanks for letting me sit in.
