They make people pay to upgrade??? Thats gay!! And as far a type ratings go, are you refering to places where you buy time in say a 737 but you're actually flying freight for that company. I've heard that airlines won't even look at that sort of flying. Ive also heard that they don't care what type ratings you have. I always wondered why for the CAPT program you got DC-10 sim time(it was somthing big like a DC 10). What is someone with 300tt going to do with that?

But you're saying that pilots actually buy ratings for aircraft? THATS RETARDED! How does that even seem like a good idea. Its not the fact that fligh schools teach you how to fly, its that pretty boys with tons of cash have a 747 type rating at age 24. Now I know why you guys are ****ed. Everything is becoming clear

What would you recommend to someone like myself who goes to MPD, and want to instruct, but has listened to his elders and has decided that he should definitly do other flying so that they have "oh ****" experience. By the way, I dont think we get a type rating in the CRJ so dont kill me.

I know a guy who does the Air National Gaurd as a crew chief on KC 135. He doesnt get to fly yet and Im not sure what his job really entails, but is that "valuable" in terms of flying experience? It sounds like fun to me. He essentially gets to take a vacation every couple of weeks to Hawaii or Germany(he came back from Germany with enough beer to fill a swimming pool). If thats serving your country sign me up.

WOW this website edits the naught words! What will they think of next.
