Hi! My name is Aysia and I am a freshman in college. I have decided to pursue the path of becoming a pilot for a major airline company but don’t know where to start or how to get there. I see that there are many experienced pilots on this forum and was wondering if I could get in contact with anyone so that I may ask my numerous questions. I would be most gracious if we could exchange emails and I could get some pointers on the best path to reach my goal. Thank you for reading!
