Sheble Aviation

[BLing]

No, I was spraying fields as a teenager probably before you were born. I'm more enamored with round engines and fabric wings than shiny turbojet airplanes. I fly both, but I like round engines, being soaked in oil, and airplanes that make you work for a living.

I wasn't suckered into anything; I do what I do by choice, and because I love to do it.

So far as Sheble...he provides the bare minimum he can, and the money you pay for your certificate isn't airplane rental; you're buying the certificate. Pure and simple.

So far as advising applicants to falsify the logbook, I don't care how you justify it. Advising a student to lie, cheat, and steal has never been the right thing to do.

I'll continue to admonish a student the same today as I did many years ago; earn your way into the industry, and learn to walk before you run. There's no substitute, and experience can't be bought.

Go earn some experience. The quickest way is seldom the best.

For somebody that likes to bash Shebles and preach the importance of gaining experience over time, why did you choose to train there? When did you go and for what rating(s)?

I said nothing about attending Shebles. I learned to fly long before Shebles was in business.

For some segments of the industry where skill is not a big part of the equation,

The vast majority of flying jobs are predicated on seniority. Are there jobs out there where skill is a factor in payscales and advancement, for sure they would be in the minority though. Whether it is a good thing or not DOH determines pay, position, etc. not your ability to fly.

Where I'm from, your ability is everything. To preach otherwise is small minded, indeed.

The world will always need windmill chasers.

And sheble's will be right there selling them the certificates to do it, too.

Let me put it this way and you can draw your own conclusions:
Did my CFI reinstatement (expired certificate) and did it as an MEI (I always liked the MEI ride). Anyways, a 9 question oral, 0.5 checkride, and a CFI who bitched me out for wasting time by doing a preflight because he "did one last night".
Yep, pay and pass. That's about all there is to it.

He was probably joking about the preflight but you had your head way too far up your own ass to realize it!:uzi:

The place is famous in AZ as a mill. They have a code word for when the FAA shows up on the ramp. When you hear it fly to another airport and call back for the all clear. I had a buddy up there lose a flap in flight, it just rotted off (not easy to have happen in AZ).

This was a few years ago. And yes, he was serious. And to put it further, his insistence was on using very scarce trimming of the plane because "a good pilot doesn't need it". But, with his approval, I was permitted to trim the pitch axis ONLY if we were above 1000 AGL (but not to trim ANY axis, at any time ever if we were doing Single Engine work!) because we were high enough to recover, whatever the he!! he meant by that.
Oh yeah...and did you know that exhaust gasses were what changed the pitch of the propellers in turboprops? Boy, I better take the orals again for 2 of my type ratings because I said in the orals that it was oil pressure.
So you see, professor, that it was HIM. BTW, that AK will be hard to shoot when I shove it up your rear end....no need to be hostile.
You work there perhaps? Or a graduate? Did I hurt your little feelings?

they had 90% of their C172s grounded by FAA when they were in Bullhead.

What for?

 

[Morettis]

I was talkin to a guy from the Vegas FSDO and he told me about that. I forget if it was bullhead or Henderson, but a him and another fed were walking across the ramp and just happened to stop by one of their 172's and something caught the eye of one of the other fed. It was the NAPA logo on the alternator belt on the 172...

You can call whatever you like, mate. Doesn't make it true.

I began flying in high school, far from Mr. Sheble an his school, and long time ago.

You're a student there, then?
