Re: Becoming a Pilot
Its expensive training and no real promise of a job. Airlines would much rather put their confidence in a retired military jet pilot with 4-5K hours than a civilian trained guy. If eventually get all your training done, you'll get in on the ground floor, which means flying really really boring regional flights on small prop planes.
I took the cheap route, I fly for the navy. You still have plenty of time to get into military aviation. If you have any specific questions PM me. I've been around a lot of people that are retiring and trying to get hired flying civilian, so I have a pretty good feel for the texture of the industry at any given time.
