I’m not sure if the timeline is misleading. It makes it sound like you can fly corporate with one of the partners straight out of flight school with very low time. I don’t mind flying a challenger or a citation and bypass the CFI route but it sounds too good to be true. It specifically says “decide on flight experience pathway: CFI or Corporate”. CFI and THEN corporate would sound more realistic. |

Wow, that was clever. And I'm nowhere close to 65. Just little more, make that a lot, more mature than you. Poster child of the magenta. Now run along young man and follow that flight director to wherever it takes you.

I will actually. Because I know how it works. I don't blame the tools. I blame the crotchety fat man who can't use them. The biggest danger to a commercial flight isn't automation. Its the risk you put into the system by thinking you're smarter than everyone else. People are the risk. If you don't understand that then it's retirement time. Seriously.

Working out of a nice FBO, NO TSA, no airport bus terminals. Good catering, layovers in places like Aspen instead of Buffalo. Its night and day. Of course you have to deal with the Biebers of the world smoking dope in your jet, but its better than the average regional customer. |

I guess you’ll just ignore the fact that it was pure age discrimination and had been fought in the courts for decades. So you’re saying that the law should have been geared to the economy or your personal situation?

Do you fly a 737? Fly the Max. Tell me how that automation worked out. 346 dead and so far $4.6B in losses. How's that for automation?
