Stargazer02,
As was said previously, there are no real "backstabbers" or "begrudgers" on this thread. Virtually all are helpful replies borne of experience from training. There are many pitfalls that can catch the unwary and the sales pitch from the big flying schools is one of the first. I went into flight training in my late twenties, with a degree and a few years of professional employment behind me. Was I a little naive? Did I make mistakes? Hell yes! But I live and learn and try to tell others as well. Do I regret becoming a pilot? NEVER!
Finally, If you think I am one of the so called "backstabbers" or "begrudgers" in the industry then I can guarantee you, that if the time comes you will be looking in the wrong direction!
