    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    My point is, if the airlines are hiring, other jobs open up.

    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    It all depends on what the hiring climate is at the time. In down times, maybe not, but if the airlines are hiring, someone is going to scoop you up to fill a seat.

    Spirit Airline Hit by Gunfire

    I flew to Haiti a few times a couple of months after the earthquake. It was quite the experience and I’m glad to have it, but there’s no way I would go back under the current conditions. I did have a painting that I bought from a local artist framed that I treasure from the experience.

    Spend my money - which autopilot?

    Since it’s your money, #2. If I was paying, I’d at least try to do #3.

    Three brothers with no PPL considering purchasing a plane

    Instructing in a straight tail C-150 was the only time I experienced climbing out of ground effect without enough airspeed resulted in sinking. We talk about it, but to see it happen was a real eye opener.

    FIA Flight Instructor Airplane written exam completed today

    When he said fly-ins, I assumed he’s referring to PoA events like Gaston’s, Rough River, and 6Y9, which are multi-day affairs. More than enough time to accomplish a Flight Review or IPC.

    Closed the Deal - Piper Lance

    If you are getting a checkout, take a few friends. It is a much different airplane with just you and an instructor than it is is at max gross weight.
