So, after months of encouragement from a close friend who currently captains for Southwest, I've decided to pursue my commercial ticket. Naturally, like I'm sure many others before me have, I have some apprehension towards spending a large portion of time and money working towards something that has seemingly little to offer in the way of guaranteed opportunity.

Whatever it may be you have to offer, it's greatly appreciated!!!
