    i wanted to do this forever, but to get completly certified with commercial & CFI you're looking in the 60k range. And the money is OK when you graduate, but it takes forever to actually get seniority at a big airline.

    I'll probably get my private's fairly soon, I'd love to make it a full time job thogh

    I don't have the money to get my privates, much less to get rotory wing license. I'm probably going to join the ARMY if I qualify to fly and can get that MOS. Cheapest way to do it.

    Also one of the hardest to get assigned to the plane/copter of your choice. Cheapest AND easiest way to do it is to join the RESERVES. That way you pick which aircraft you want to train on (provided you score high enough on your AFAST test). The active duty guys hate the reservists for the fact that when it comes time to gettng assigned, the reservists already know which plane/copter they get as opposed to the active duty guys who all compete for it and just take what they are assigned to.

    But goodluck being around long enough to even get the chance as a Reservist. Hope you like hot, sunny, sandy weather.
