Hey Dan, My name is Mark Eric and I recieved a notification from ATP that you're going to be my coach. I just want to take this opportunity to briefly introduce myself to you. There're a couple of questions I had for you. What is the average age for an entry pilot? because I happen to be taking classes at the University of Phoenix for a bachelor of science in finance, I'll be done with this program sometime next year and I was hoping to start the piloting program then. Most people ask me why I've chosen a career change so late in life; the truth is I've always wanted tofly from when I was young. The principles of flight really intrigued me from when I was little but I got derailed along the way. Now I realise that to be successful you have to no yourself and what you're good at and go for it. Something in me tells me I'll be a great pilot.
One more question, how many hours do you make in a year? I was wondering if its possible for a pilot to work really hard and rack up some hours because I know thats what matters? For me I think I'll need to hit the ground running because I'm a couple of years behind. Please tell me what you think. Thank You
