Wow!Do I feel old. I'm 24 and just started working on my SE commercial. My 141 college program makes us take the instrument/commercial ride at the same time, so when I finish the commercial, I start the instrument. Wierd?! I know.

Well, I made the decision to change career paths after my second year of college and have been flying almost non-stop ever since.
Good luck on your checkrides. The best piece of advice that I have for you is to take full advantage of and explore any and all opportunities that are presented to you

hey pilot man, i am gonna start ATP at DFW in Dec. 07 after i finish my degree, and was wondering how it is going? Mainly just wondering about the Arlington location and how you are liking it? I lived in Dallas for 14 years or so before moving to TN for school. I think its going to be nice going back there just cause i know the area pretty well. Any info that you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Murr,
So far so good, Ive been here about 2 weeks now and just passed my private-multi checkride today. The airport can get really busy, but when we need to do pattern work we always go to spinx or another close by airport. Other than that its a fun place to be, Ive enjoyed it so far with the exception on the wx screwing with things. Let me know if you have any questions, I would be glad to help.

I believe XJT is the same way.
As far as PSA and Colgan go...whoopee?

Thats not entirely true, at least from what I have heard. According to ATP's Letters of Agreement with the airlines, if you have the regional jet standards course completed, you can get hired on at lower minimums. That goes for SKW, XJT, AE, etc.
If you go http://www.atpflightschool.com/airlines/index.html you can view the letters and see the requirements for the lower minimums.

Pilot Man,
Thanks for the info. I just want to get my degree out of the way so I can start. I just got my PPL about a month ago and working on those 85 hours. Where do they have you guys living at?
