Lol... SJS claims another victim. Sounds like you could use Dave Chappelle's version of the "Charlie Murphy-Rick James" attitude check.

In a few months when you say you will be applying, you will be competing with guys like me and many others furloughed from 121 airlines; 1,000+ hours, 1,000+ ME/Turbine, type rated and current. Finish your Industrial Waste Management degree, get your CFI and teach. Learn a thing or two, have fun and show some respect. You have much to learn young grasshopper.

You obviously were not a pilot at NWA. I worked there once too, in the flight kitchen. Damn, I miss those cow pies.

Respect for a 9? Come on....It's a old noisy jet that is paid for and makes lots of money and smoke.

Ok kstateflyer, give it a rest. In your previous thread you stated: "If I have to build more than 500 hours to get to a regional I will be upset." Obviously you have no idea what it takes. There are worse places to be than being an instructor in Salina. Many people have actually worked hard there to get where they are today, not magically hired by a regional with 300 hours the day after graduation. And it is sad that they locked your thread because it probably is not flamebait, there are actually kids out there that think that way...

yeah, you are really competitive compared to a Fam Flight guy I had last week. 8000 hours and 9 years with Champion compared to your.....ummm.....Yeah.

Oh, I guess you didn't hear. If you go to K state and went to a presentation given by a current "9 Driver" not only do you not have to interview to get a job, but you also automatically get awarded "The 9" CA (MSP base of course). It was in the presentation... don't feel bad I almost slept through it too.

God I hate people that say "The 9" ... does that mean I hate myself because i did it on here?
