Thank you!
 

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to use this opportunity to asy thank you to you all! I have been reading these boards since I'm 14 or so and I have learned so much! These forums have really accompanied me on my path of learning things about the industry, about flying and about my own dreams!

I am saying all these weird things because today I have passed the final tests and interview for Lufthansa! My big dream, the great opportunity to have my flight training paid by the airline and have a secure and well paid job afterwarts, has come true! They have accepted me for their "ab initio" (cadet training) program!

Unfortunatly, I will now not move back over to the States and go to university there and be able to work with you great people one day, but you have all helped me very much! I will certainly remain a member of this board and will continue to read a lot of the great things all of you write!

So let me say again: Thank you everyone! Hopefully we can soon meet on some airport in the world even if I will not be flying for a US airline!

I'm writing strange stuff right now, but I just really don't know what to say - I am just so happy to have made it into Lufthansa and somehow wanted to thank you all!

All the best to you, stay safe and blue skies!

Yours,
Jakob

Jakob, I remember well the early days when you logged on and shared your glider stories and questions with us. I'm glad that your APC family was able to provide the support and guidance you needed. And I am even more glad that you are accepted into the Lufthansa program; I know it was a longtime dream of yours.

We wish you the best. Lufthansa flies direct between SEA and FRA you know, and I hope to see you on the flight deck one day when I visit Germany again.

Keep us posted on your progress. I would say Congratulations in German, but the only German I know is Hauptbahnhof. :)

Good luck with your budding career, and as mentioned above keep us posted on your progress!!

Congrats! I think long term you will be better off with Lufthansa than here in the states. They are one of the best, if the not the best, airline in the world (on many levels).

Congratulations sir,

That is quite an accomplishment.

Doesn't Lufthansa do their flight training at GYR? You'll be back.

Congratulations!

Congratulations young man. Blue skies!:)

Jakob, That is great. All the best for your efforts and the hard work to come.
It will be fun.:D

We're more than pleased your hard work has paid off and we wish you the best in your new career. It's a great life being a professional pilot, as you soon shall see. Drop us a line as things progress!
