I'd prefer the part-time flight instructor, because the full time one thinks he's 9-5 M-F. Which doesn't help me when I want my night rating or want to fly on weekends...

$100 FS, but $XX for extras - medicals

So, went to the doc, and all of a sudden, what was once $100 flat/full service, has turned into a brothel a la carte. 45 extra for ECG 35 extra for hearing test oh, plus the flat fee of a hundred, just to get your balls held. And no it wasn't just my manipulative doctor doing this, I called around, ...

2900 callers, several making multi lined calls, that's pretty dissapointing turn/call out. How many individuals called?

No wonder we get treated so poorly. None(very few) of us stand up together and get this industry going in the right direction...

So the controllers and the safety board are stating that they should work less because the kentucky accident wouldn't have happened if he had more sleep even though the first statement issued by them was "its not our problem or our job to make sure you take off on the right runway?"

Must have been a jazz aircraft and a seneca student....

Most of us still have some common sense in us.

Thanks for posting, but I thought instructors who aren't to busy building hours were supposed to teach this sort of thing to students?

If it is fake he sure went through alot of trouble to build a website etc to support his "fake" job offer.... It's one page. 5 minutes with wordpad, 1 minute with an html writer. I'd venture and guess it's real. But the webpage isn't "spectacular." As for harassing the guy for posting a JOB, sod off.

do an introductory flight with each and pick... It's not set in stone that you need to pick on or the other. One of our opinions might differ with someone elses and yours.. Take a lesson from each school with each instructor, take the instructor you're comfortable with. Also gauge them to see which ...

You gonna get a call back if they get a new contract, or no chance of them getting new contracts??


Try Air Bravo, think the rockwells are 500TT for f/o's or maybe it was the 12's. They had ads up a month ago for capts and f/o's.
