I mean, it's only the first thing on Google... Mesa is the current bottom feeder of all airlines. If she still is interested, there are plenty of decent regionals who offer things like duty rigs, where you get paid x amount of hours, no matter if you are delayed or cancelled. Glamorous job it...

Just to give an example of how much air will flow through a small hole - in modern automotive systems, a hole the size of half a mm will be obvious in lambda correction values. If I felt like running numbers, I could tell you how much the EGTs would increase for given manifold pressure and the...

You do realize this reply is worthless without pictures.

I noticed that when you have access to your own airplane, you can fly with a safety pilot for free. Plenty of hour builders everywhere looking to log that time.

12 hours with a CFII, call it $50/hr, $600. DPE $600. Written $140. My plane was $55 an hour. Thats $2k. My DPE was a bit less than that. 12 hours will easily prepare you if you prepare yourself. I had a great CFII, but we could've done it in half the time.

Cost is a rounding error in aviation, if you own your own airplane. 15 hours with a CFI, 12 if the CFI you did your private with was a -II too, plus the checkride. What's that, just under 2AMU. That's not a lot is it? It makes you a better pilot, makes you understand the national airspace...

...I bet I wasn't the only one who read this wrong...

Google WSCOD.

Mesa isn't the right place for anyone...

Consultant in automotive engineering, so yeah sort of.

I didn't instruct, that's true. But then again - skipping the CFI was my career plan all along. Not instructing was close to cost neutral to me. I paid just under $14k for my 250 to 500 hours of flight time. CFI would have cost me what, 7-8k? So difference was 6-7k. I made that up in first year...

For pilots, it's a career you can live off from day one pretty easily now. I just hit my first 12 months employed as a full time pilot. First 4 months I was on 34k/year, next 6 months about 50k/year, and now I'm pretty close to 90k/year. So on average my first 12 months I've been on a 52k/year...

Stop feeding the troll guys.

Ok. Kinda pointless, unless your landing technique is way off.

So you land while pushing the pusher interrupt? Lol.

I'm donut in a Legacy and "carrot" in NG over the fence. 100kts is Fast (unless you are really heavy). "keeping the pusher happy" is just not knowing how to fly the plane. You have a ton of headroom between shaker and pusher. Good landing won't even shake, let alone be anywhere near a push.

@MauleSkinner has a great point. The commercial checkride only tests things that are relevant to things you can legally do with a commercial ticket, with heavy emphasis on skills you need for (e)(4). Many skills people think are "relevant" for commercial flying are things that are covered by...

You plan to write a log entry with vors and intersections?

You want to get into that argument in a checkride? My DPE looked at a straight line and decided if it was valid or not.
