Wow, this post couldn't be timed better! I am quitting my job in the coming weeks. I'm due to take my PPL skills test in two weeks, did my X country qualifier last week and have hour building booked in South Africa for October. There is so much going on at present, all new things that are scary as hell but I cannot help feeling excited as hell.
I start my ATPL's in November with ATA and yes I'm anxious about how difficult it is going to be but to read some of the posts here really helps to solidify that there is a way through and the risk and the pain will be worthwhile...........one day.
Good luck to all those who take it by the throat and make it happen, we're all taking risk in our own ways, my mortgage will be the size of the national debt of some small countries but having worked in IT for several years, I know that the pursuit of money alone does not make you happy......go and do it.
