Title intentionally left blank.
Howdy; I fly left seat at a part 135 operator doing a job I love for a company that may not love me.
4800 hours total. Two turboprop type ratings (one single-piloted and one crewed). CFI/II/MEI, but haven't taught in a decade. Dorky enough to fly flight sims in my free time.

Howdy from Houston
Hello from the Carcinogenic Coast! Enjoyed my time as a Part 135 Cowboy, but very excited to begin life in the Majors through the completion of a pathway program. Get me out of this Houston heat! Fly warbirds for fun during my off time.

COMM MEL

Recreational pilot for many years. Flying since 2008, lots of radial engine and tail wheel time. President of manufacturing/retail company. Always wanted to be a professional commercial pilot when I was younger but it wasn’t in the cards. I just turned 40 and am perusing a career change.
I’ve always loved the King Air and have applied with Wheels Up. I understand their current situation but still optimistic.
I am very open to suggestions and not opposed to anything. I’m chasing flying and quality of life more than a big paycheck but won’t turn down a good opportunity.

Hello everyone
Hows it going everyone?
My name is Frank, I am currently working as a repair tech for Tesla at Giga-Texas and have decided to get my PPL. I recently went though a nasty divorce and got screwed on the visitation time of my kids. I am only allowed to see them once a month and I work on Sundays. I figured If I had my PPL, I could fly into DFW, scoop up my boys and maximize the time I have with them. I have chosen above and beyond aviation school in Austin Tx. If anyone has any tips, advice, feedback, or suggestions I would appreciate all of it. Vet's has anyone found a way to use GI or other benefits?
