To the guy who posted about public perception, good grief that was a jacka$$ dumb post. You know what the majority of those people are going to see? They are going to see someone that overcame a "disability" and is now an inspiration to others. Then they are going to pi$$ and moan why you are 4 minutes late getting them to "Padooka Falls".
I had a student in almost your identical position. He flew as good as any students out there. He was picked up by a regional.
Quit goofing off on here looking for opinions on what you can do and not do. You have proved you can do it. Get your apps in there and go get a job flying.
Keep us updated on who is lucky enough to hire you.
Another reason I know this is going to happen for Phoenix, is his attitude. I had a student, who's hands were born as stub's. It was a birth defect for him. This guy was one of the most proficient pilots I've taught. Worked hard, and didn't let anything stop him. He also rides a harley, and is a reserve police officer, so he has to be able to handle a weapon. Very cool guy, and just reminds me that I need to give him a call and get an update on how things are going for him.
EDIT:Phoenix, when you have the ability to PM, I have a link to send to you for this guy.
