Best of luck to you.
I will add that if you have a good attitude and trying in training, SOMEONE will work with you. Sometimes the best source can be someone in your own group. Most of the line qualified instructors are great. Very hit and miss with the “professional” instructors that have never flown with Envoy. Mark S hasn’t seen the line for a while, but as long as YOU'RE not an idiot and can handle his personality, he is one of THE best instructors I have ever had. The man knows the 175 systems and can teach you them as well.
Mark and I flew the Saab at the same time. I knew him out on the line, and also when he moved to the training center. He was the instructor in my E145 class, and as stated above, is absolutely one of the best instructors in aircraft knowledge and ability to teach. I found in years past that if I did the work I needed to do, class and sim work at Eagle would have you way overprepared for a checkride, which I'd much rather be than underprepared.
