Off topic a bit, but when I did my ATP you needed to schedule a logbook review with the Feds… then needed a Fed sign off plus a class 1 medical just to take the written. Times have changed…

Do not take the skills you learn into future jobs. Skydiver pilots have a set of rules that do not blend with other aviation jobs. My first job was a skydiver pilot. Always expected to cut corners and fly somewhat erratically in the pattern. Congrats on the job, not trying to diminish your...

They must allow a US citizen into the country. They can penalize (or try to), but they cannot deny entry for citizens.

Yowza

Exactly.

Why is it a mystery small airplanes crash more often compared to professionally piloted airplanes??

To the best of my knowledge, prist never hurts. Could be wrong on that. Also have never flown a jet (pic typed in 5) that didn’t have some sort of fuel heating.

Many, many holes in the vetting process. I’ve seen guys vetted as their nickname, yet their ID doesn’t show that, or vice versa. I’ve also seen some less than adequate ID’s. (Fishing license??). 135 operators (not all, but many) will do whatever it takes to make the flight happen.

Not sure if you are serious..??

I catch up on sleep in the back of an airliner. That’s of major value to me. Some folks work. Can’t do that while flying your own plane, so you really need to put that into the mix.

lollllll!!!! Sorry. Legal actions over quoting one of the published TOC’s…??? BWAHAHAHhH

IMHO, and nothing against the work the mods do, but if you can’t take the time to type out the 10 words, perhaps you just don’t have the time to be mods. Not speaking for @Half Fast , but if you did take the time to type the 10 word reason, you may save yourself time in the long run, as...

While your RV/bus is amazing, and as much as I would love to live that lifestyle, I could never do it without a mechanic on staff (and traveling with me). I pretty much need to call an electrician to change a light bulb.

How close are you to the NY White plains border??
