Unless it is for recreational use, bad idea. There more unemployed pilots than ever in history. The days of the 100k yearly pilot are all but nearly over.
In todays economy, you'd be lucky to find a 25k entry level pilots job. The non union airlines are taking over.
The unions airlines are becoming extinct.

Go to the Embry Riddle Aeronautics website in Daytona Beach, Fl. And don't put any planes into any buildings, at least when I or my wife are in there.
