What was so bad down in MCO for you?

Yea..

MCO is such a drag...


Almost as bad as MSP in February...

A horrible place to have a training center!

I think he's just talking about the training process, not Orlando itself. I ain't no rocket surgeon and the 320 training kicked my ass pretty good.

I knew he wast talking training; hence my question.
What was it. The training program ityself, the horrible sked's and million changes, the annoying cumbaya; everything is OK deal, instructors, sims, what?
Other than that, I believe is an easy ride,whether you have experience or not.

Heard once again recently that MCO is under review and by the end of the year a decision will be made. Then it will be 6-9 months after that to open it up.

From a reliable source.

Nah, it wasn't the training. Training is the same everywhere, its just another airplane. Slightly less organized than i think it should be, but it was easy enough to get through. Lets put it this way, this is probably the least I've ever studied for a checkride, going all the way back to part 135 days.

I really just am not a fan of Florida period. I hate humidity, and everyone down there just seems to think its so great, so that irks me even more. But the real reason was the liver damage that I did between The Ale House, Bennigans and the happy hour of course. I've had enough cheap beer to last a lifetime.

You all are welcome to have my MCO overnights, and every other Florida layover for that matter. Let me have my west coasters and life will be good.

I live here, and it "aint" that bad. The part i can't stand is the slow takeover of our spanish speaking friends. I wonder what the troops who come back from iraq think of the billboard ads written in spanish around here?

LOL, I agree with that. Florida rocks! With exception of the hurricanes that pop in from time to time. Certainly beats earthquakes tho.

I wonder what kind of press I would get if I tried to cross the border into mexico illegally.

Soon Mexico will be deserted. Cheap real-estate.:laugh:

The only people that like Florida are those that have never been to San Diego. San Diego is just like Florida minus the mosquitos, hurricanes, daily thunderstorms and humidity. Plus in SoCal you can ski in the morning and surf in the afternoon. The real difference though is that there aren't any In-n-Outs in Florida. That's alone makes SoCal better than Florida.

Back to the topic. MCO will happen sooner or later. My guess is late '08.
