iflyjets4food

Says you. It really isn't that way at all. The history behind my name is as follows (maybe the mods should make this a sticky so I don't have to explain myself over and over, j/k):

When I started flying, I went to a 2-year college. I got started using instant messaging programs. It just so happened that iflyplanes4food and iflyprops4food were both too long to fit as a username on that particular message program, so the next one I tried was iflyjets4food, and it fit. Since then, I've just used iflyjets4food as a username or screenname on everything.

Behind the pursuit of the RJ job:
I actually flew piston twins on a 135 certificate for awhile. I really enjoyed that. The only problem is that I was only flying about 250 hours a year. I got into the King Air, which I also enjoyed, but the same story prevailed. Since I've been trying to fly as much as possible to have the time I need to get a job close to my wife's family, the 135 job wasn't cutting it. I applied to some turboprop operators, but to no avail. I really didn't necessarily want to go to a jet operator, but that presented itself as a place where I could fly close to 1000 hours a year. Really, I see it as a necessary evil. I believe it will be fun, and I will learn a lot. Plus, it gives me the opportunity to move close to the in-laws (which is a good thing in my case).

I'm really not a SJS case. I probably have as much PIC multi time as most newhire RJ pilots have total time. I'm just taking the opportunity that is presented to me. If it had been a turboprop or another piston twin in a good location, I would have been just as happy. I just want to take this opportunity for all it's worth.
