Flying in DC - don't want to mess up and lose my security clearance. So I haven't since I got a TS/SCI w/ lifestyle last year. I don't need that kind of negative attention.

ATP is my quick way to get ratings / time to get started with a regional. If I can't get the regional of choice I'll CFI at a university (Auburn or ERAU / whoever hires me) until I can.

I plan far ahead - but its worked for me so far in life so I'm sticking to it...
