Pilot Pete,
That was absolutely amazing! That is just what us wannabies need. I know everyone says "follow you dreams", "listen to your heart" etc etc but to read about someone who has gone through and made it is just so inspiring. I am also in a similar position as you were before you started. I WILL be here oneday posting my story of how I became an airline pilot.
Well done to you and best wishes to your wife and 2 kids.
