My college plan (circa 2003) was to get in, get trained, drink, flight instruct in good ole IL and graduate in 2007. After graduation head back to the Left coast and CFI for a couple years then head over to SKW whenever they started hiring.

Well lookee what happened....the hiring boom of 2006-08... I had the opportunity to go to a crappy regional asap or go home and CFI more (had been CFIing for two years at the time). Impatient me jumped at the chance to ski on the water.....in retrospect I should have gone home and enjoyed the In-N-Out and sun.

Two furloughs later and here my black ass sits....in LA....CFI-ing (well the first furlough...not the second.....so far....) waiting for SKW to tell me I'm good enough.










Moral of the story...do it right the first time kid.





For-Shizzle.
