AZ Typed said:I'm not claiming to be great - but it's unbelievable what I've seen since flying 91/135. So much so that I'll NEVER put my family on a chartered jet, EVER (unless I'm flying). I'm not claiming that every 91/135 sucks so bad either.
From you first comments AZ, I would be tempted never to let you in my cockpit with an attitude like that. I hope you never get furloughed because an attitude like that follows a fellow and you might find it difficult to stay current on the outside one day.
As to the PFT bit and having been a contract pilot for a short time in the past, a large percentage of ICPs pay for their own training because they see it as a business expense or an investment. I know of at least one who has gone out and got their own CL30 type recently for such a purpose. It is a speculative investment and one that can only be made after fully evaluating the risks and expected rewards. Often, the payoff isn't what was expected. And, it isn't for everyone.
