If you want to fly, then you want to fly! And I'm not talking about flying for pleasure, in light pistons, for me it was always commercial airline flying. Wanted to know what is was like to have fare paying pax in the back. Wanted to know what it was like to push the thrust levers forward and unleash that power. The view's from a pax window are not what they are like from the front.
I would walk home from school and when I saw an jet aircraft depart LGW/LHR on a DVR departure I would stop in my tracks, gaze up, and think to myself "I'm gonna do that one day"
And now I do. PPL in 1993 aged 17, self funded CPL to first job in 1998. Been flying jets since 1999 aged 24. Loved virtually every minute. Now LHS Airbus......
If you really really want to fly, you just will.
