As for AirWillie, he mentions instructing. I mentioned before, I dont want to instruct because I know there would be no joy out of it for me. No joy out of it means no joy for the students I teach. Instructors should be doing it because the passion is there, not because theyre 'lazy'; theyre the ones who are trying to get the younger ones enthused. Ive ran into a few instructors who were just in it for the hours...times like those I really thought about taking the ATC track...
I did enjoy instructing, but even if you're not too exicited about it, you will learn a great deal. Consider it the next phase of YOUR training, cuz that's what it is. Remember, when you become an airline captain you are an instructor by definition...there are regional FO's who can't talk on the radio or do x-wind landings to save their lives (and 52 others) :eek: A little cfi experience comes in handy then!

Then DONT. Buy a plane, find a way, log that PIC time. Just because you don't want to instruct doesn't mean that you should buy a job.

Hey Willie....last time I saw you were admitting to being a total newbie to flying and most certainly weren't a 121 pilot. This still true???

AirWillie 03-09-2007 09:20 PM
When did I say I was? I'm not a newbie but certaily not a 121 pilot. I get a few pm's from awac guys asking if I work there. Maybe I should change my name.

Joy? You want Joy, get yourself Microsoft flight sim and a case of cold beer, if your old enough and stop blowing money on flight training to become a professional pilot.

Who the hell said there is supposed to be Joy? Its called Work for a reason Son!

I'll say it again, everyone should have to work a REAL JOB before becoming a professional pilot. Then you'll realize how easy this is.

Sorry about the "Son" thing I wasn't talking down to you.

True, but to me Id probably **** off the next gen of pilots before they even got their private. Then again Ive been spoiled...Im split between to guys...one of which did 135 work and came right back because he like instructing...the other just never looked beyond teaching from the right seat...maybe its just my experiences but its still how I feel
