A new commercial pilot joins the ranks.

I'd like to think the flight instruction will be more than just time building.

Thats what I like to hear! I learned so much more from teaching the stuff...

Yay for me, even further toward my goal of getting myself into a disaster of a career!

CMEL passed.

Congrats. However you're not a commercial pilot until you receive compensation for flying. You're commercially certificated. Same as if you graduated from law school but haven't passed the bar exam.

:laugh: Yeah right. You're not a commercial pilot until you tow banners or give flight instruction. Geeze c'mon!!
Don't listen to him. You are a commercial pilot!

Is the holder of a PPL not a private pilot until he owns his own private plane?
Is a sport pilot not a sport pilot unless he competes?
Is an ATP only an ATP if he flies for an airline?

He's a commercial pilot......an unemployed commercial pilot.

That's how I look at my status anyway...

Congrats GK!

Congratulations!, Yes, the BE95 is a Travelair...predecessor to the baron 55, but with 180 horsepower engines. Straight tail, instead of swept back.

Well, to me, I did the time building moving towards the 250 hours. I'd like to think the flight instruction will be more than just time building.

Well it is, you will learn far more as an instructor then you ever did going to flight school.

BE-95s rock. Very nostalgic multi. It was an honor to do my multi training in one (for $70 an hour!!) My favorite old Beech multi is that ah... what do they call it.....?? Oh yeah, the T-Bone. Can't remember the model number. The engine's exhaust is straight piped. The Harley of the old twin world.

The ever lurking 752 guy is on a roll! Humility is a virtue Mr. Metro.

Niiiice. Good one:laugh:

Being humble is considering others as important as yourself. You are thoughtful of their needs and willing to be of service. You don’t expect others or yourself to be perfect. You learn from your mistakes. When you do great things, humility reminds you to be thankful instead of boastful.
