I was at the ripe old age of six before I decided to make a career out of this. One parent insisted that it was a bad idea, and that I had dang well better get another career in order. The other parent, of course, was a pilot, and seconded that opinion. I had a front-row seat for the collapse of People Express, and then had the distinct pleasure of being part of a family of six whose only source of income was Frank Lorenzo's Continental. When dad finally got on with UAL, we figured the bad times were over (note: WRONG). I entered the work force at 14, so unlike most pilots my age I know exactly how much fun there is to be had working a 9-5 job (or a 4-12, or an 8-6...) All that aside, I majored in aviation, but took the LSAT and did a bunch of computer and business courses on top of it. The other stuff's all strictly backup - I know what I'm here to do. I took a big ol' paycut to move on to my current airline job, and I've loved almost every minute.
I love aviation, but never had any illusions of a big paycheck and carefree living. So what kind of study are you doing here, anyway?
