I want your opinions. I've only posted once recently, but I used to read this board religously. I got my CFI in Sept. out in Vero. I chose to move back out west, rather than stay in Florida. After failing to find a job instructing I became (cough) a car salesman. I intially had the hope of earning enough money to eat and stay in the air. Well, I started making good money and I scheduled a checkout flight. To make a long story short, we had an electrical problem and turned back. That was the first time I've ever heard "How many souls on board". My roomie(non-pilot) was in the backseat and was impressed how well the situation was handled between myself and the checkout pilot. We scheduled another checkout flight a few days out. The next night I was shooting pool and because of an old skiing injury, I tore my meniscus(cartilage in my knee). So, I've been on terra firma for a long time. I'm about to get the nod of approval and letter many of you suggested from my surgeon, so I can get back in the air. Monday, about the time George Dubba was speaking I reached my threshhold with the car business and quit (ethical reasons). So now, I haven't flown in months and I have no job! Where should I go from here? I'm about to turn 29, so between my age and my knee I can't enlist. I really wish I would have thought of that earlier in life, but hindsight is 20/20 right? I'm really curious what ideas (and yes flames) will be brought up. What the *&^$ should I do?
