Hey guys,
Just want to apologize if I seemed to be a "250 hour" know it all. I learn every day and have enourmous respect for all my captains, yes, you too Kill Bill. Sounds like you've had a great career so far.
I did try the military route when I was young but was told 2 knee surgeries put me in a position that the best I could do was navigator. Its certainly my fault for going the corporate route after college and not jumping on the dream to become a pilot the hard way.
I only went the pay to play route in my 30's on the advice of 4 different friends of mine (one a FEDEX captain, one a United captain and the other two FAA check airman). It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Again, I apologize for any facecious posts.
