Once a little pilot...

During flight school everyone worried about how much time they had and did they have enough flight time for the next step... Now in the real world its the same old thing. I worried until I worked up enough hours to get to 1000 hours so insurance would be easy no matter what plane I flew. Now I have over 2000 and short on the multi engine hours, what to do now?

The oldest plane I've flown is just 4 years old. The best of the best. The problem: I've wanted to fly big airplanes my whole life. If I go that route I'll lose half my salary. If I wait I might miss my oppourtunity. I hear fracti...
