Since when is a rinky-dink 320 considered heavy? Is this guy serious?when I'm not flying the heavy metal.
Wow you're my hero. I would have loved to fly in college rather than study BS Poli Sci from left wing commie profs. If you're company is still around in 32 years then maybe you can brag, history indicates otherwise.You guys do the MATH......look at the money I saved to get my time and ratings.......and I'm now flying for JetBlue at age 28!!

Geezus! Is it true you walked point for the three wise men and pulled KP at the Last Supper?I'll be dating myself but when I started it was $11.50 per hour for a C-150 and $6.50 and hour for the instructor.

I went to the Unversity of Illinois, got a degree in business......but did my flight training on the side. Paid $38/hour in a C152 and an additional $10/hr with an instructor.

jetbluedog said:Just curious, what are UND and ERAU charging for hourly rental rates now, with and without and instructor??
I'm ready to begin laughing my ass off!!
I am paying $52.00 hour - wet, for a Mooney Ovation at a location flying club when I'm not flying the heavy metal.

jetbluedog said:Back in '94 I was flying for a 135 outfit in the Midwest. Got a call at 11pm to fly a body from a morgue in Omaha, NE to DSM, IA in a Piper Navajo. Grabbed some Taco Bell on the way to the airport. Ate in the car on the way, didn't think much about it. Quick pre-flight, the hurse showed-up with a body bag. 3 guys loaded the body in the back, signed some paperwork, and I blasted off headed east to DSM. About 30 mins into the flight, 9000 feet, clear smooth.....all-hell broke loose within my inner bowels. I grimmaced. Shifted from left buttcheek, to right buttcheek, and back and forth, but no-luck. I knew few FBO's in po-dunk Iowa would have facilities open at 1a.m. I put my trusty faith in the autopilot, crawled in back. No one at the controls! Unzipped the body bag. Squatted over the body, a foot on either side of the dead body. Blasted my load.....man that never felt so good. Zipped up the body bag and crawled back up front.
In DSM, I've never heard a bunch of funeral home directors complaint about a body's smell while unloading in all my life. I stayed in the plane because I was laughing my-ass-off so hard.
Blasted off and returned to home base in Omaha. Never told anyone til' today!

SJSU affiliated flying club:
50$ wet C-152
65$ wet C-172
instruction capped at 25$
However I'd say ERAU is almost worth it just to not have to fight the university to get the education you're paying for.
