GA Button
Nice story. I hope the doom merchants can glean something from that.

No or very few flying job starts at 70k but patience and or good career planing will bring that about soon enough.
Part of the problem with the naysayers is that they want it all....NOW.
I started on £21k with my first TP job then £46k with my second job (jet) and now about £65-70k £ to € conversion dependant with same job....all within 6 years If commands were still happening it would be £100k but that will have to wait.

Go for it mate its worth it just like GSXTY GA button etc all say. You will be like a dog with (what we up to now...oh yeah) 6 willies thrown into a field of bitches and a couple of tubes of KY.
If as does happen to many, it doesn't work out for you (mostly down to lack of hard work flexibility and gumption) at least you've tried and then go back to what ever you then want to do in life knowing you gave it a shot.
Good luck and hope to cross you in the sky one day.....1000ft apart you understand.
