I've got 3 more years Bryant. A friend of mine got his citizenship just last week. It took him almost 2 years.. That's 5 years from today.. How would I feel if I started my regional career, 5 year from now , being almost 40 and making $16/hr. In 5 years I could definately become a captain, and make a decent living.. 5 years makes a lot of difference..
