That's definitely the easy way to combat this. I highly doubt I'll ever take anyone who's been drinking flying in a small plane. But I wasn't sure if anyone has ever had someone sober do stuff similar to this, but in a plane. As a note, the biggest trouble maker has been asking me to go...

So some friends and I rented a boat today and it turned into quite the disaster. People jumping overboard while cruising, people falling under the boat right when I was attempting to beach it, people who could barely walk but wanted to swim, and many other odd, unexpected, and dangerous...

Hopefully you'll hear some good news from them soon then! I've got 55 now (low, I know), but I'll have over 250 (CPL, IR, multi, CFI, and CFII) within the next 6 months or so. And interesting that you think you need 4 figures for Asia. I work with a former 737 captain from an Asian airline...

Thanks for the thoughts! Did you do flying up there? What were the pros and cons? How many hours per year should I expect? I'm really attracted to the Alaska idea just cause it's different and I'll learn some good skills while flying in that environment.

So it's official... I'm giving up my corporate finance job to attend ATP flight school and get my multi/instrument ratings and CPL. In about 4 months I'll have some big decisions to make regarding whether I want to be an instructor, look for a 135 job, try to get on with an asian airline, or...

Lolz. Thanks for the insight.

After not actually flying in 18 months (I do a lot of chair flying at work), I went back up for the first time today. I felt really good--6 landings with no problem, maneuvers were fine, but a little trouble with the radio work--the CFI said that he would sign me off for my flight review and to...

Yea, I'm at the headquarters for a major airline. I'm really not looking to fly jumpseat often or on other airlines, just my own company. I figure that is probably my best bet. But again, I'm not sure if any FARs will prohibit me.

So you don't think there is any possible way? Based off of what I read, it seems as though there aren't any FARs that directly prohibit it. Seems like its really left up to the airline and pilots discretion. I'll probably be non-reving Friday and Sunday so I can't decide if I should at least...

Just got hired on with an airline on the corporate side of things. I have my PPL. Any possible way I could fly in the jump seat? The non-rev benefits are great, but flying up front in an Airbus or Boeing would be even better! I've looked at the FARs but as usual it looks like gibberish to me...

Thank you. Honestly, at this point I would almost rather delete the thread and rely on google than listen to people's advice on something I didn't ask about when they only know a couple of paragraphs about me

This is getting wayyyy off topic. Yes, I have college loans. However, I don't have three degrees worth of college loans.

It's a long story how I ended up with three degrees, but I did it in 4 years. For me, the most expensive part of college is living expenses because I've had scholarships almost the whole time. And since it was still 4 years of school, it wasn't any more expensive than it would have been...

A tire salesman and a para pro at an elementary school, while running a small business. Why do you ask?

Just to clarify, I already have my PPL. Just hit the "milestone" of 50 hours total time the other night.

Definitely the least important of the three lol.

Yes, I have taken on some student loans, which by no means was a mistake. And even if it was a mistake, so what? You live and you learn. I was 17 when I decided to go to college--no 17 year old can always make the right decision. In terms of finishing what I started, what started when I...

So if I was to go for it, what would be the best route in your opinion?

Whats the point of taking an intro glider flight? I don't quite follow the purpose of that.

Flying versus a typical job So I'm about to graduate from college, which means I'm about to be faced with some pretty big life decisions concerning careers and such. Over the past six months, I have completely fallen in love with flying. In a way, my head is always in the clouds. I've been...
