Thanks to all that contributed good, useful information.
To the others such as "unlimitedakro", rjtrashpilot and "airwaves",,, you may want to evaluate whether or not using this forum is a good thing. If your future employers (major airlines?) could know your true inner self, ignorant and immature, that would make room for those of us that really care about learning all they can about aviation. Unfortunately, airlines put more value on if you are a college graduate rather than if you are emotionally mature.
I do not have a degree but I have spent the last 24 years learning all that I can about aviation. In addition to my Comm tickets, I have a CFII, A&P, IA and an Aircraft Dispatchers ticket. Those listed above would probably not have been willing to shovel horse sh*t (literally) as I was to pay for my private ticket.
So I challenge those listed above,, you had the courage to post on this forum, do you have the courage to tell us your names?
My guess is no.
