Just want to recount a story.
Guy walked into BFC 6 years ago, without a PPL, worked on the ops desk, got a PPL, got a twin rating, worked his arse off, schmoozed with visiting bizjet pilots, built enough hours to fly commercial flights on PA34, then PA31, blagged a BE20 rating in return for writing huge amounts of ops procedures and taking the post holder position of Ops Manager. Just got his command on a Hawker 800XP for Netjets.
All the above took 6 years.
Now, he is fairly exceptional in his flying ability and work ethic, but it can be done!
