How much did you spend of flight training?

Having Dad pay my way and being the Delta Chief Pilot= PRICESLESS

Actually I took out the loans on my own without a co-signer. My student loan payments are $800 a month now for 20 years.....AND, although Popeye is a great guy....he's not nearly old enough to be my dad. I'm not related to anyone at DAL....just had a good enough resume' to get the call for and interview and earned the job like everyone else who's been hired this past year. PS: I was 37 when I took my first flight lesson, not wet behind the ears by any means....and plenty of life experience to fill out a well rounded resume'. 5000-10000 hours doesn't mean a whole lot if you've done NOTHING else in your life, DAL is looking for the whole package.

Fins,

I remember the days at RYY well. I think I spent about $2300 on my PVT at Gem City back in 92. I've probably got less than $20k in all my ratings, including ATP.

But how things have changed. My sister finished at FSI last fall with just over $100k in student loans. That first year ASA FO pay isn't going to go very far.

My training cost an estimated $1,000,000. That’s about $4,000/hour for the 250 or so hours during 1.5 years. I sure do appreciate all you guys and girls paying for it. I made more money in my 2 years of active duty then I did in 5 years at ASA as an FO.

Are you F@CKING serious?!?!?! I know a few guys with that time and "nothing" else who work at Delta.

Im glad that you have other things in your life, because without that Delta never, ever would've gave you a chance. Get a clue.:beer:
