well, you know what kind of time committment needs to be invested, and it sounds like you've got your head screwed on straight. what do commercial pilots make, anyway? aren't they well compensated?

six years is a long time. you could change your mind in that amount of time, no problem. i wouldn't stick to one type of aircraft, either. i would think being trained in more than one type would be worth more, but i am thinking like a civilian.

i say go for it. at the end you'll look back and be glad you flew.
