Re: Becoming a Pilot
dispite what you may be told lasic will hold you back as much as your bad eyesight for advance ment. as it is the insurance companies that determine hiring policies.
my friend had a heart problem and spent a hard year of bulcrap trying to get his class one medical back, as he was told he would still have his job. after he got it he lost the job anyway for insurance reasons they wouldnt hire him.
pilots are a dime a dozen so low pay is the norm for lousy working conditions unless you can break into the majors which isnt likely for most.
buy your own plane if you like it and get on part 135 and do charters at your own leisure. you wont make much but get to fly the way its supposed to be.
someday if you get a plane look down on a small gravel bar 300 feet long for me fishing.
