I've charged about 10 hours of no-shows this year. Probably around 25 hours for last year. Students are usually pretty cool about it.

0.5 no-show first offence, 1.0 second, then usually 1.5 per offence after that. Some instructors will bill 2.0 per offence.

I bill it because I'm worth it.

The SO's for A.C.E. are so hot right now.

How many FA's have their Licence? Shouldn't they be given a shot at right seat as well?

When the American Airlines A300's vertical stab and rudder broke off, they were BELOW Va, exercising full rudder deflection. What's the point of Va again??? And they blamed the pilot flying for that???

Girls with glasses are hot.

But man, I'll never get used to flying that thing with winglets. First the 737, now the 757...all that's left for me is the 777. That 'ill be so cool.

They're doing Vancouver.

Remember Odyssey International? Anybody know what happened to them?

I did originally post it saying 1,500. Things have changed...I think I'll stick it out to 15,000 now.

Anyone else been seeing that cool freezing fog north of Newmarket the past few mornings?

Is there any point to work as an instructor after 15,000 hrs TT?
