I went to a 4 year program at a established school and transferred in with my AS. in Mechanical Engineering. Good news is my school classes are almost done, bad news is I'm falling way behind in the flight training and it has nothing to do with me.
So starting off from January, most spent in my buddies living room waiting for the fog to lift or waiting on another snow storm I eventually managed to grab my PPL in the middle of March. They messed up and didn't have enough spots for me (lack or planes, instructors, and to many people flying)... Then I was going to start my instrument training right after, and again no instructor and the paper work on there side was messed up. Finally I got my instructor about a month ago and did 2 lessons and now hes out on a medical condition.. Now they have to find me another instructor and I have missed about 12 lessons and flew 2. I flew about 6 times since January and they told me at least 2-3 times a week scheduled.
Im starting to think my luck is running short and I've actually decided to move home over the summer and commute down to the school a few times a week and I got my old job back as a machinist probably making just as much money as the instructors.
Anyone else have this sorta luck with their training? I guess that is what you get when you do a 141 school that has 10 planes and hundreds of kids that will drop out anyways getting in the way of others. I just need some head lifting because I choose to go this route and it sucks because I know how much I could be making as an engineer next year if I kept going on that route.
