    I regret that I had to dumb down the language to that extent, but when you're communicating with someone who only knows insults and hatred ... like they say, when in Rome. Your criticism is noted, however. I am proud of my education, though, just as you guys should be of your flight training...

    "The Muslims should be rounded up and put in camps just like the Japanese on the History channel. They are the ones that will KILL YOU given the chance Einstien !" Here's a better idea - let's round up all of the biggoted, racist, nazis such as yourself and put you guys in a camp. No need to...

    I'm an "ignorant ACLU creep" of which you speak. Interestingly enough, it outrages me that Americans have forgotten about 9/11 as well. Had we remembered who was responsible for 9/11, I'm confident we would have never attacked Iraq. Even bleeding heart liberals want justice for 9/11. In...

    If Delta Connection Academy calls me one more time

    I got a letter from DCA the other day ... inside was a "preliminary airline application" which asked me which regional I'd rather fly for and a lot of other application style questions. As you can see by my flight time, perhaps a bit premature. Interesting marketing technique, though.

    part-time jobs

    Do you guys typically have set nights of the week that you're off when you fly for a regional? I'm a college prof and am (slowly) training to become a pilot. I'm just curious if I'll be able to teach a few classes a week, say on Tuesday and Thursday nights. I imagine the schedule isn't that...

    Farnsworth Lantern Test

    I actually took the signal light gun test twice ... the first day's conditions weren't great for it - The sun wasn't far from the tower and I had trouble differentiating the white and green because of it. The second time I took it, I had no problem. Of course when I did this back in 1997, I...

    Farnsworth Lantern Test

    Laminate is the key ... mine is falling apart ... I feel like Nicholas Cage handling the Declaration of Independence in National Treasure each time I pull my SODA out.

    Farnsworth Lantern Test

    That's interesting ... I took the signal light gun test back in 1997 when I first began training and they issued me a SODA. I actually still have it and used it when I got my last medical... says "Statement of Demonstrated Ability" on it and everything. I wonder if the rules or standards have...

    Farnsworth Lantern Test

    I've never taken the FALANT, but I've been looking into it since I have a color vision waiver (from taking the light gun test) but would like to pass an alternative test to have the waiver removed. I've heard that the FAA has its doubts about the FALANT, so it's not guaranteed that it'll be an...

    Fuel Prices Affecting Training?

    I'm just curious if you guys think that the current shift in fuel prices will significantly affect flight training in the near future. My FBO has added a $5 per hour fuel surcharge on all single engine rentals. Is this going to lead places like DCA and others to raise their tuition prices? As...

    is this guy a fraud???

    Funny you should mention CAP guys ... the FBO I go to has a ton of them - mostly older guys who couldn't meet the vision/height/weight requirements to fly USAF. I noticed the other day that one of the CFI's was wearing his CAP flight suit while debriefing a student after their dual flight...

    Medical Honesty

    Many thanks for you guys' advice and input. It's just been really frustrating because I'm trying to determine whether or not I want to fly professionally, but I haven't been able to fly since March because I can't hold onto my medical. I like to think I'm the best pre-solo pilot in the world...

    big jobs that pay badly..

    I was a Ph.D. student at Ohio State for two and a half years. Left because I began to hate a subject that I used to love. We always knew, however, that we'd end up making squat on the way out. Wasn't too hard to swallow, though, because most of us received free schooling and a salary. I had...

    Medical Honesty

    My apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place - I though there was a medical board but I couldn't find it. After all of the troubles I've had with the FAA and my medical, I'm wondering why I was honest with them in the first place. Here's how it went down... I picked up 10 hours of...

    If you weren't a pilot, what would you do?

    "Look at what your career progression is in education vs. the airlines. You will probably not make 50K at a regional until you make captain. My suggestion would be teach and continue to fly, gaining ratings and experience part-time or during summers. Let your work pay for your training to...

    If you weren't a pilot, what would you do?

    I've been thinking about building up the time and ratings to become a CFI and then put in my time before making it to the regionals one day, but I just got a sweet gig teaching at a junior college making 50k a year (24 year old, first year instructor with M.A.). Would I be crazy to leave this...

    Funny post from airliners.net

    Forgive me if you've seen some version of this before - this didn't actually take place, but it's still funny. I saw it on airliners.net and thought some of you guys might find it funny. Enjoy. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with...

    Flying in Europe

    I wasn't able to find any information on this - so I thought I'd throw the question out there. What are the prospects of American pilots being hired at European carriers? If you were able to get work status in a country (let's say England) could you take your FAA ratings to Europe and fly...

    Is Delta Connection Academy A Good School?

    Does anyone know if DCA will admit you after you've completed your Priv/Inst/Comm somewhere else and plan on doing your CFI/CFII/Multi with them? If this were possible, it might save you a fair amount of money. The advertised cost for Priv - CFI is $53,091. But of course, if you skip paying...

    Airline Training..... What routes the best?

    ...before getting too serious ... I've been working on my private for 9 years now (including a 7 year break in the middle for college and grad school) because the FAA$%holes have take my med twice ... and I'm 24 and perfectly healthy. **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** red tape.
