met a guy in groundschool a couple days ago, was from parks college (SLU) and he had 270 TT, and apparently had just gotten his multi-commercial on saturday, then started groundschool on monday, which tells me he was hired on the basis that he "would" get his multi certificate.
I say if you feel your ready for it "which you probably aren't" come on in and join the party that is transstates.
