As far as the post count, uh... You do realize I've been registered on this forum quite a bit longer than you have right?

Continue being negative, it's really not my problem. But I'm telling you it's not worth it. Change your situation, your job, your career, etc. I've been there myself, and it was horrible. I'm very thankful I was able to change my situation.

I sincerely hope you find improvement in your life - and I guarantee you the occasional MEL won't ruin your day ever again.

Maybe this is a dumb question but what exactly are they looking for? That I can draw the runway and the markings on it? Or are they looking for the approach lighting? or both?

If you feel like letting passengers suffer heat stroke, go right ahead.

Hint: on your technical, you may be asked how you can determine if you have 2000 RVR or 2500 RVR...and when you know the distances from the threshold of the various distance markings on a precision runway, that question becomes a whole lot easier.

Skywest has always been a "flight instructor" airline, having a CFI is really a minimum requirement to be hired. They only hire freight dogs et al under extreme duress.

I assume they relate it to Flight Visibilty and it's impact on 91.175.
