Good stuff delay256, your plan is excellent, it is just pilots who have been suffering for years are putting you down and trying very hard to discourage you. Go for it! Get ahead with your career without having to kiss ass and the bullshit of other pilots trying to keep you below them. If only we all could afford to do what you want to do, then these low paying operators would have to step up their game.

Or another possibilty is the low paying operators might step up their game if folks like delay256 didn't choose to do the airlines training for themHIGH ROLLER wrote:Good stuff delay256, your plan is excellent, it is just pilots who have been suffering for years are putting you down and trying very hard to discourage you.

Is Southwest a shady operator?
Just so you know, Southwest Pilots seek their B737 Type Rating at Higher Power Aviation facility ONLY after they pass their interviews.

I would never pay for a Type Rating, but then again, this young man can do whatever he wants. We can't judge him. I love those guys that look down from the top and say "Hey, you're ruining it for the rest of us"... We've all played a small or big part in "ruining it" for everyone, including ourselves.

The title of the original post said, "Looking for Training Partner." I don't recall it saying, Looking for Career Path Advice."
I wish you good luck with your training path, Delay. When I was younger I had a job offer at 19 to become fully trained as a crane operator with paid education at NAIT in Edmonton Alberta, with a good salary from a good company, starting the first day of my apprenticeship. I turned it down to become a pilot because I was only working construction to pay my flight education, which some thought was crazy. I guess what I'm saying is do what you want and don't stop learning. Also don't let people piss on you.
