started flying casually at 36, went full time at 37 now 38. just over 300hr and about to checkride for commercial 61 at a good school. got thru comm time reqs pretty quick and was almost cr ready with maneuvers then had to take a 3 week break. then weeks of re-practice flights after landings went to shit and instructor had me on what felt like a quest for the perfect chandelle.
after weeks of refresher flights and more weeks waiting for a cr date while paying out of pocket for practice flights to stay current, 2 dpe reschedules and a discontinued cr flight it feels like my school/instructor are giving up on me. supposed to go into CFI right after comm but starting to feel like im not as good at this as you need to/should be to make a career out of it. lots of stress being away from family and home working remotely out of state. would like to get thru CFI, CFII in 6 weeks. have had some typical setbacks in training but now starting to think just save the money and stop now. dont know anyone who flies and dont know who to ask outside of the school.
