Hey surefly,
Welcome to aviation. Don't take this personal or as me being judgmental. I quickly checked out your blog and noticed your photo. You've got a bit of a punk rocker look to you, with the large hoop earrings and tatoos going down your arm. I just want to point something out though, in terms of making it to the airlines, etc. you may have to groom yourself towards a more conservative look. Arm length tatoos and hoops earrings are kind of frowned upon. Airlines tend to be conservative and worry what passengers might think if they see a guy who looks too radical. Maybe some of you can chime in on tatoos and employment prospects.
Aside from that, have you taken any lessons or an intro yet. Before you invest in a school thats going to take you from private to ATP, you should make sure this is something you're going to enjoy doing for a living. The pay will be pretty awful for years to come and some people find that after a while, flying isnt something they really enjoy. Also, get that 1st class medical upfront to make sure you have no disqualifiying conditions.
By all means go out there and try it. Studying the material will definitely give you an advantage before you start your training. And any questions you might have can be answered (or debated as is many times the case) right here at flightinfo. Make sure you have a game plan to complete all of your ratings one at a time. Don't run out of money and get stuck in the middle. This will end up costing you more in the long run.
There are basically two ways to get through training. Part 61 and 141. 141 is more structured and can get you finished much quicker. But 61 can be more of a learning experience and maybe more expensive. I did mine 61 nad found that I gained a more varied experiences.
Good luck and keep posting.
