From: Doing what you do, for less.
You are describing my "plan" perfectly. I'm graduating in 3 years, coming with a Private, doing Instrument and Commercial in one semester apiece, and doing their CFI summer training program my first summer there. I will also be coming with a TON of AP stuff.
That's why I'm so excited and optimistic, the timing could not be better. I have a gut feeling that my obsessive reading and writing on here will pay off in terms of my career.

Good on ya. Keep it up. The ones who slack off will be pulling gear for you in no time.

I've got a proline center console. 150 will move it plenty fast, but I am looking at the 4 strokes for the better economy.
I'll say, with what a new motor sells for, you can certainly upgrade boats significantly due to all the repo boats at auction. There is a BIG/HUGE disconnect between retail and wholesale.
Last week, way more boat than I want, I saw a 2003 26 foot whaler with twin 225 verado's (with 170ish hours of run time) 2006 vintage and a triple axle trailer sell for $16K. That's the price of one of those motors retail.

Not NW/DALin the sense of smaller, or larger than NW/DAL merger was. Can't imagine DAL taking the whole Magilla of AMR, or even half of it getting through anti-trust scrutiny.

It will. Trust me. Instruct there. Apply for Dal's internship for you summer after your first year. Also look at taking a semester off for one here. Less competitive.
Many may laugh at you working so hard but as you know seniority is everything. It saved me years and was able to upgrade at a regional at 25. Barring 9-11 I would have had a much different career. I hope nothing like that ever comes in your,way. Keep in touch with us mou seem to have your,head screwed on straight.

Are these the engines you are looking for? Or do I have the wrong picture?

I have been looking and really just looking at Reggie boats on repo. Momma would never let me get one but thy re fun to look at. I'm more likely to get a cruiser.

Thanks. Like I said, though, I realize that it's practically unheard of currently for a 21 year old (that's what I'll be when I graduate) to become a new hire pilot with Delta. I'll tell you, though, I'm going to try and push as hard as I can to increase my chances of it happening.
