I've been very fortunate to have had some cool folks that'll let me steal the front seat on a $100 breakfast out and back.
Ultimately looking to get hired at any major but do have my heart set on Delta.
Here to learn and hopefully help with what limited experience I have. So far this forum had been incredibly informative.

Hello all. Long-time viewer, finally registered and now posting. I'm an old Navy Airedale by trade, approaching a career decision point and still enjoying the journey.
This is a great site, and like many others I'm sure, I can't tell you how much I appreciate everyone on here who does indeed take the time to make thoughtful and constructive contributions to the greater aviation community at large. My promise is to always do my best to give the same in return.
Aviation is indeed a lifelong discipline of mentorship and giveback, and overall this venue nails it. Thanks very much.
Fly safe and Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
I'm a recent UPT grad in the Air Force Reserve. I spent a good amount of time in another branch as a non-rated guy before I made the transition to the Air Force Reserve in order to pursue a career in aviation so I'm very familiar with the inter service transfer process. I understand that some folks are way past this point but let me know if you are interested in pursuing the Reserve/Guard route, I am more than happy to help!
Although I don't even qualify for the R-ATP mins at this point, I'm looking forward to flying with the big boys in the near future.
Go Herks!

Hello
I am new to flying, actually have not started yet. I am hoping to start my flight training this month. I am older so this is a second career for me. My goal is to either fly cargo or corporate, but that may change. I hope to learn a lot from every one on this forum. You all have a lot to offer. Thank you for letting me join.

Just a good ol' A&P, former Air Force U-2 and A-10 Crew Chief trying to work his way into a flying gig.
After beating cancer almost 8 years ago, finally saved up my pennies, got my PP, just finishing up my instrument rating right now.
Done a lot with CAP doing air searches and Red Flag target planes when I lived in Alaska. Got intercepted by an F-16 in a CAP 182 over Wisconsin in early December.
I love to fly, and fixing things all my life has taken a toll on the body. I figure by the time I get a gig, I can put in a good 20 years (almost 42 now) and enjoy my life a bit better.
Looking forward to chatting with folks and if you are anywhere near the Duluth, MN area, would love to get to know the other pilots here. I've only lived here a year.
