A 32 year old and 34 year old chasing their dreams with eyes closed and who come here to argue about someone else' s decision when they have thrown alot of cash and haven' t even landed a job yet.
- If you are already training and you are very comfortable with your decision, you would not mind reading what is written here.
- If you are already training and you are not comfortable, then you better move on, keep your head in the sand, before it affects your motivation to finish your course.
- If you are not training yet and you are really motivated to make it your llifelong career, not your short-lasted wet dream, then you need to consider all this.
The OP is not comfortable with his decision so he is asking the question.
I don' t find it necessary to put down my background or experience, especially to challenged people like these ones who like to live in the dark cave. I have been there and unlike the above kids I have been able to resist the temptation though I was alot more motivated than they were, because no matter how hard it was I confronted myself with today' s realities.
Today, I am very happy I did all that.
My alternative plan has worked out to become my main plan and I am now surprised at how easy it was for me to walk away from piloting. My new aviation career is bringing me alot more than I would have achieved as a pilot. Today I can focus on saving money, maybe get up a small aviation business on the side with some friends in 10 years or so, build a home and a family.
This all to say that it is possible to walk away without regrets, by exploring other paths in aviation that one underestimates as a pilot trainee.
Management at airlines and airports is full of people who have once dreamed of becoming pilots.
