I'm 22 and just graduated a 4 year college. My ultimate goal is to become a professional pilot, whether it be airline, corporate, or military. In a decision of desperation, I gave up a management job ($12.50 per hour) in the hospitality business to take a position as a Line Service Tech ($10.50 per hour). My logic was that it would be good to see the Ops side of the airline and GA business but now I am thinking that I might end up regretting it. The income, however, will be about the same because of the overtime I will accrue working the night shifts. I currently have my private and am working on my instrument (about 100 hours TT). I am living at home and my only expense is a $300 per month car payment. I have about 4-5K set aside for flight training, and am trying to fly about once every 7-10 days. Is it realistic for me to have my CFI within the next 1-2 years? I could go to an ATP type school and get it all over with but debt concerns me. Should I stick it out and just fly when I can? Any advice would be appreciated.
