Personal Introduction

I got started in aviation as a little kid, my parents used to take me down one of the service drives by Detroit Metro to watch planes land from the time I could walk and talk I was hooked. I am a Aviation Flight Technology major expecting to graduate in the winter of 2015 pending the fact that I can enroll in a art class to fulfill my general education requirement. My future plans are to flight instruct at Eagle Flight Center until reaching the FAA minimum requirements for a 121 carrier then ideally I would like to work for the regional airline that is offering the best incentives at the time. After building flight hours at a regional airline I would like to work for a major airline, such as Southwest or Delta then down the road if space tourism takes off like I hope it will I would like to somehow venture my way into commercial space operations as a pilot, that is really my long term end goal. I would like to have a chance to talk with a aerobatic pilot and possibly a military pilot in effort to pick their brain and compare their career progression and how they would have done things differently. The fact that first year pay at a regional airline is so disproportional to the amount of student loan debt that most pilots accrue over their time in school and while training I believe is a topic for huge debate and would really like to look over this further.
