How do employers sift through references? My best chance of getting a really good job is for potential employers to call my references (including every previous employer.) I have never left a job under bad terms and all employers have told me to come back if I ever need a job.

Do you really wanna know?

Thanks, guys. I'll start working on my manifest soon enough, @mulligan . I'll post photos when I have things cleaned up and we are living there. I agreed to an early payoff penalty since I got a much better interest rate than I had anticipated and the penalty in insubstantial. We have a nine...

Haha, not likely.

My first inadvertent VFR into IMC didn't turn out horrible but it was a sobering experience. When I got my instrument cert, I didn't have any approaches in actual IMC. My first real approach was right after my commercial checkride in light icing conditions. I really would like more actual...

There is no requirement to have more than one logbook or "maintenance record". But you can also have as many as you want. Only the "aircraft" gets an annual but people like their other logbook to show the inspections as well. The typical entry is that they were inspected in accordance with a...

Do you depreciate the aircraft equal to the money you put away for the engine?

There was once this pilot who let me work on his airplane... well, there are a lot of those pilots. Bunch of fools, I tell ya! And they keep coming!

Some people have a lot of money... As a fresh pilot, I'd advise getting something kinda old... kinda like a teenager's first car. Then once you know what you want and are done beating the snot out of your first airplane, get something better and more expensive. That airplane is like a Honda...

Was right seat in a Comanchee 400 that the owner was test flying after getting it re-rigged. It was a little bumpy and he goes zooming over the runway about 8 knots over Vne. Those bumps felt like we were running over cinder blocks in a Ferrari. Not flying with him again.

I told the owner we're getting out of the contract due to financing. His reply was basically, "if you can't finance this place no one can and we will never sell it." So he offered owner financing. We've settled the details and we are closing February 15th. Met with the well driller on the...

You think you're a funny guy... huh.

What is your range and endurance in the catfish? Do any international flying?

I think you can log it as long as it is Phillips X/C... and you can log it as cross-country flying. But that Aeroshell stuff... you have to actually fly it to log the hours.

Wear a shirt you don't like. Don't freak out. Celebrate after with a big bowl of ice cream!
