Wow, I got paid more than that to instruct in a 152. Once again, an example of people willing to do anything for turbine time. I wonder how long before we see an RJ operator paying that much to ab initios.

I have a friend that works there, and let me tell you...I would prefer her learning from the captain's she is flying with, then at any regional hiring 250 hr. pilots. They are some of the most experienced captains out there. A lot of them are retired AA and UPS pilots with years and years of experience and a wealth of knowledge to pass on and enstill in these 'young' aviators. That way when they move onto their next job, they will be bringing something new to the table.

Sorry about that! Good to hear.. I just stumbled across the site through a search on google, so I figured i'd register and say hello. I'm an FO in the class ahead of yours. Glad to hear things are going good.

I know the feeling. John does a good job covering everything, and knows everything about the Otter. Systems went by fast I thought!

I'd have to say that John is pretty much one of the smartest men alive! I've learned so much this past week. All we've got left is fuel and electrical. Limitations/memory items test TODAY! Ack!

Well your almost done with the hardest part, the classroom. Maybe you'll get lucky and won't have a 2 and a half week vacation (yeah, right) between ground school and the sim like I did.

I am so hoping I do!!! I need to go home and get some stuff situated! I am living in a hotel right now and it's definitely not cost effective! Know of any crash pads around?!
