Wow, that's some friend you have there.
I have to say that I am also determined to reach my goal, no matter how ridiculous it may seem. I am a student in Idaho with the hopes of reaching Hawaii to fly with Aloha Airlines, or perhaps Hawaiian if they'll take me, and I'll stop at nothing to reach my goal.
I keep getting told that I will never have the money. That there's no way I'll be focused enough to reach the goal. And I am also aware of how hard an airline interview can be. But no matter WHAT may stand in my way, I know that if I DO remain focused and DO NOT give up, I will reach my goal.
I can think of nothing better to kiss the tropical skies in the plane I love the most. I'd be perfectly happy, even if the airline might give me a bit of bull!!!!!.
It's what I want to do and I will never give up.
Aloha 737-200!!
