I went from successful entrepreneur to airline pilot in just 23 months. I earned 7 pilot ratings in 91 days for under $50,000 and then spent a year as an independent CFI to build my hours to 1,500 (plus I earned $100K that years as a CFI)...and then I was hired as a First Officer by the largest regional airline in the US. If you're successful but unfulfilled, wondering if it's too late to chase your aviation dreams—it's not. I'll show you exactly how to do it without breaking the bank or dragging out your training. 🎬 Video edited by The Tweaky Tales team My Social Accounts: Instagram:   / fly_with_trent   LinkedIn:   / trentdyrsmid
