You can learn A LOT as a CFI and even have fun doing it too.

It'll also be nice when you're sitting in the cockpit and the captain asks "so what'd you do before you got here?" and you don't say "well, i flew airplanes"...they'll automatically lable you as SJS and believe you never ALMOST killed yourself enough to have earned the seat.

I am one of the 20 year old FOs at TSA. Cptn Ed asked me durring the interview do I think I'm old enough to work here. I told him yes. I had already taught for 6 months. Durring that time I had built over 600 hrs dual given. That was convincing enough. That and I had baout 160 hrs multi. Age doesn't matter unless thay specifically say must be 21 or older like Comair, Skywest, Pinnacle, and other. RAH even has a 23 age limit on the ERJ170. I think this is silly. It must be for cheaper insurance. If young guys can fly a 76 seater at HoJet they should be able to fly 76 seaters at RAH. I'm just saying. Age doesn't matter. Its all attitude and experience. Though I'm only 20 I've been in an aviation family and flying since I was 14.

What the heck do you do on an overnight? Drink warm milk and watch the Disney Channel?
I may not be ancient, but at least I can go out with my crew.

I know that my first post about being 20 came from left field, but I was just saying it in reguards to a post earlier in the forum. I wasn't just shooting my guns. I don't really like to brag about it.

I think so. I worked hard. I did it an honest way. I love what I do. I know that many people before me have worked a lot harder. I'm not oblivious to the fact. I'm greatful to have an airline job. I know I'm fortunate. I may be young but I'm not stupid. Well maybe stupid for working at TSA. Good thing I quit on Friday to start at AWAC.

And as far as going out with crews. I do go out. I'm smart about it. I have ways of getting into places and drinking. However if going out and drinking with your crew is how you define your overnights then thats just sad. It's fun to go out and do and I love it, but it doesn't make or break a trip for me. I'm working on my degree online. Thats what I do in my hotel on overnights. Something productive.

And Shrek how is everything over at Spirit?

Most IOE's are 25hrs so he got hired at 245tt?

"Mr. Captain, will you please buy me a six-pack before you go downtown?"
The rest of us don't have to worry about getting our degrees during the overnights. We did them in college. Now, we get to go out and enjoy our overnights - and we're still senior to you.
