Hey guys, I'm thinking about becoming a pilot, and I am considering going for my PPL... I'm just a HS Junior right now, but I start applying to colleges soon, and I am looking at aviation schools. But before I decide I want to become a pilot, I do have some worries. I know how bad the airlines are right now, and I am worried if the airlines will "ever" get better. I highly doubt gas prices will ever go down. After reading these boards for quite some time, I've gotten the impression reaching the majors is somewhat impossible, is this true? How hard is it to get to the majors, "if you stick with it?" I just don't want to ruin my career, since I could go business or law. I could understand wanting to become a pilot 15 years ago is logical, but is it still rational today? Are the airlines doomed? Please help me out, so I don't catch myself in a deathtrap, due to a major aviation bug.anic:
Thank you
