im glad you enjoy my posts...as I told the founders of this site, I started posting while I was a 100 hour private pilot in Fallujah and that was in June of 2006 so 900 hours later this site has given me more insite and knowledge than any other source combined ten fold.

I consider it payback, I obviously have knowledge to share in some way, I got from where I was to where I am so if even one person finds one part of my process helpful then it is all worth it. I also enjoy this site as a mod because I have the oppurtunity to do some house cleaning to keep this place running smooth so guys like you can cut through the trash and get to the good stuff.

without this site I could have ended up at ATP or Ari Ben and then at a job like Gulfstream not that those places are bad (ok gulfstream is) but they were not for me and I wanted to prove to myself that I could do the same ratings in the same time frame for half the price.

I walked into the ATP building the other day to take my written and I laughed, when they asked what I was laughing at I told them I was laughing at the 6 hiring agreement letters from regionals...what a joke, I feel for the poor kids who do the high percentage loans that end up paying back 200% because of a hiring agreement. You could buy a cessna 152 and have your uncle be your CFI and if you have the hours you are getting hired providing you pass the interview which has no bearing on where you learn
