Well the best tip I can give you , is stay away from the Majors airlines if you get your A&P , except for American Airlines , they do their own in house work . The others send it to China to have fisherman do the work .
If your sight is good enough for combat , you should be able to fly o.k. Biggest problem , may be orientation , which sides up . Make sure you have good contrast between the bottom and top .
Hooking up with someone that flies , well greatly improve your odds for success.
