Thanks for the responses guys, you've all been very insightful.
Squawk, I'm interested in looking at Airline Training International, and also at Toronto Airways up at Buttonville. If you have any comments about either, wouldn't mind hearing it at all. If it can get me a job in a seat, that would be better than nothing.
And I guess the wage factor is going to be disparaging, sure. But at the same time, I know for sure I don't want to be doing what I'm doing right now. And any career switch is going to have pitfalls for myself, starting from scratch again. All I want, though, is the chance to move up, eventually, just like everyone else. If I can get a somewhat okay lifestyle by the time I'm in my mid to late 30's, doing something I want for a change, that would be enough for me. Something to look forward to, perhaps. Though that's a big if. Can't live on a negative salary for the rest of my life, that's for sure...
