Thanks for the free comedy, ladies n germs...
CallMeEd....I hear ya buddy. The enthusiasm, the drive, the dream, I hear ya...Reality??? Here it is: NOT ONE airline will hire you as a captain right off the bat. You have the experience to be hired as a First Officer at a Regional Airline. 300 hours a year? Better fuel that plane, and get that number to at least 50 hours a month to be competitive next to that guy/gal in the interview, and have IFR skills and decision making just as good (if you say your good) as you can operating on someone. Do you fly with a co-pilot now? NO? YES? Get one and learn about flows, checklists, and what CRM is ALL about....(gasp)... After all this, welcome to being a FO making $20.00/hour and pursuing the dream to becoming an Airline Captain...IF they hire you!!!!!!!!!!!!
