sonic,
i think...
i just have to follow the following route then.
1) PPL (maybe, else i'll jump straight to option 2)
2) BAv with CPL/IR/fATPL
3) AFI
4) CFI (CFII perhaps?)
5) Build up hours and hours and hours.
6) Hit 500 hrs on fixed-wing, apply and apply and apply for airlines.
7) PAY BACK EDUCATION LOAN TO BANK. (hahaha)
by then, financially stable & get married... 45 years old mannnnnn. haha.
working as a CFI isnt that bad too, isnt it?
*winks*
