Hi there,
First off, I would like to say thank you for replying to my post. Now, let's get started, I am 22 years old and I am about done with my A.A.S in Management (Dec 2015) and I will be done with my B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies next year (Dec 2016). I was just a little late on getting my degrees because I took a year and a half off due to my Air Force training.
I really love management, but my passion for aviation since I was a little kid is still in me. I remember flying to Australia when I was 5 years old and being able to see the cockpit of the airplane was exhilarating. From that point on I said to myself that I wanted to become an airline pilot when I grow old.
I wanted to get done with my Bachelors degree first for job security, so I can fall back into something, if flying isn't working out. It's pretty much my Plan B.
I will be 23 years old by the time I get my Bachelors and if everything goes to plan I will start my Flight Training Jan of 2017 (23 yrs old).
Some people that I have talked to about this kept telling me that I should've never went to the Air Force because starting early in your Pilot training is the best deal. Well I told them that I wanted to serve that's why I did it.
Do you think that I am just at a good age to start pilot training?
Is it a little late?
Now, I don't really care how crappy the pay or the QOL in the first few years of flying. I have been raised in a poor household, so I know how it feels like living with a poor QOL. Aviation is my passion and I would rather go for my passion than regret it later in life that I did not even try to go for it and that is the thing that I am avoiding.
I have also looked at a couple of flight schools around the country. The flight school that is most appealing to me is "ATP FLIGHT SCHOOL". Reason why this flight school is the most appealing to me is because of the fast-paced program. Second, flight school that I have also looked at is "AEROSIM FLIGHT ACADEMY", reason for that is because my friend went through their program and he said that it was great. It was a little slower than ATP, but I don't really care. A word-of-mouth from my friend was good enough. He is now a FO for Thai Airways flying the 777!
Thank you so much for taking your time reading my post and I really do appreciate your replies.
