I’m 28, live in Texas, and work as an airport operations supervisor for United Airlines making approx 100k a year. I’ve been with United for 3 years in the operations space.
I recently did a discovery flight and absolutely loved it. About 5 years ago I flew a few hours but didn’t had the money saved to continue training. I have approx 50k in cash savings right now. Ever since I’ve been a kid I’ve wanted to be a pilot but never followed through or acted on it. Currently I save about 2-3k a month.
Would I be crazy to quit my job and do flight school full time? I’m considering quitting and doing ATP. Or would you recommend pay as you go? I know eventually there will be a need for more pilots and I would love to fly for a living, even if it was for a 135 operation.
Any input appreciated. Thank you!
