Both Ronny and seadog give good advice. Keep that licence current, keep on pegging away, and pop on over to the states to build time now and again, when funds permit. This last bit will help you remember why you started this long trip in the first place! Keep your name and profile high with the operators, you will get in eventually!
Oh, and don't listen to the likes of Slipslide, or you'll just slide away! In this game it's as important to know who to listen to, and who not!!
