I started my flight training in a round dial Cessna 172 and have a scan developed. However, my university's training fleet consists of all-glass airplanes with the exception of the complex and multi-engine trainers, which I'll be flying in the next couple of years.
I know about the benefits packages on the regional side since they make frequent stops at my college, but the DC-9 still remains a huge dream of mine. Everts, from what I know about them, would seem like a good place to be since I can deadhead to Laredo. Starting out, I wouldn't expect Pan Am-747-level pay, so I'm not that worried about pay as long as it isn't lower than $40k/yr.
