Of course it is hard to accept the cost of training with the really low pay for the first couple of years. And of course, it is not an easy decision to drag my wife through those first few hard years and that pile of debt. But then I guess many others have survived it.

I am also trying to learn exactly what the life of an airline pilot is like. It dosen't appear to resemble the typical work experience at all.

ATP is coming to my airport soon. They sound like an excellent way to go if you can afford to go into debt that much. Any experiences with them - good or bad?

What airport are you at?
