Becoming a Pilot

<< < (3/3)

Mike:
Don't waste your time, Rooster.

I don't wanna be mean or anything but this kid hasn't even checked up on his questions yet nor cared what we think. Lost cause, as far as I'm concerned. One of the many who think it may be "neat" to fly a fighter jet without putting any efford behind it.....

Plus, I firmly believe that if you're really good at what you're doing (and so does Robert Kiyosaki from "Rich Dad, Poor Dad") and you're giving speeches to peers 4 times your age . . . like "Sir"Cmpwn, you should make more than 38k a year....

I just get annoyed with people who are not sincere about getting into aviation. Sorry for being blunt! I help out anybody who means well and needs help (people who know me know this) but I have a hard time with posers....

Rooster Cruiser:
No worries Mike.  I noticed SirCampwn hasn't been back to the forum since Feb 26th, so he never even bothered seeing the excellent advice everyone had for him.  I made that last post more for Madpilot's sake, and for the sake of a great true story from someone who recently flew west.

I just thought I would share that story for the real readers of the CW Forum, whom I know will enjoy and appreciate it.

I hear ya.  On my side of the house, when the FAA calls you go.  Or you dont have a  job period.  I have friends that I went to school with that were not "ready" (didnt want to leave current job/significant other) to go to OKC when the FAA called, and they wonder why they havent been called back.

Aviation is tough career path to be on, and it takes lots of sacrifice (both from you and from your family) to be successful in the field.

Mike:
Well said guys!

This ended up being a pretty good thread for young guys/girls who are interested in becoming a pilot after all though, huh?!
I think they'll be able to get a sense of what it takes and who you can not be if you wanna make it in aviation.....

YawningMan:
I'll say one thing. If I were making 38k, I don't think I'd have trouble affording lessons. I don't know what cost of living is like in Colorado Springs, though.

If I could go back to do piloting stuff in the military, I think I would choose to fly heavy movers. Every time I see a C-5 Galaxy, my entire being is rocked with fascination. Oh, and the sound they make!
