Hi MapleTopGun,


I'm in a similar-ish situation. May I ask if you have children? I have a very supportive wife and two small (under 5 years old) children. I finished my CPL two years ago here in BC, but have found it (so far) very difficult to take the plunge in terms of pay and conditions (I'm pretty well looked after right now in my non-aviation job).
My wife would be ok to move somewhere else in Canada for me to pursue my dream, but I just can't seem to come to terms with what it would mean to my children...


I know, it's best to regret things you have done rather those you have not, but still.


Best of luck to you, I hope you'll keep us up-dated with your progress. I'm currently looking at buying a share in a small aircraft to see if that keeps me satisfied without taking the risk of a career-change. We'll see how that goes!
