Career Changer

I am an Engineer that is looking to change careers to become a professional pilot.  I received my Private Pilot’s License in 1999 and have used it to have fun flying as well as for some business trips.  I received my complex endorsement in 2000 and high performance endorcement in 2001.  I then recieved my IFR in 2005.  

I changed companies in 2003 and that company purchased a Cirrus SR20 for business use.  I have been able to use if for my business trips.  This has allowed me to slowly build my time.  I still have a full-time job as an Engineer.

In the next few months I plan to get my commerical license and hopefully Multi-Engine as well.  I will then be making the mad dash for hours to get into a position to interview with a Regional Airline.  I will be doing this while maintaining my current Engineering position.

I have set up this blog to record my continued efforts towards this goal, and show that an older person can make the change from one career to another.

 Wish me luck!
