go rent a 152 and build hours and get hired back once you reach 1500?

Get a gubbmint loan for a real MBA and take a job at Starbucks making more money with a better QOL. In 22mo you'll be tee'd up for a six figure job, several weeks of paid vacation, decent medical, and stock. Land a job, buy a plane, and fly whenever you want.

I'm not kidding. Do this right now.

150's are expensive. They have electrical systems and that means radios, transponders, batteries, alternators, ect..... Cheifs, Taylorcrafts, luscombes, ect. With no electric systems are way cheap. A continental A-65 only burns 4 gallons working hard. Pull it back and you are down to 3 or less GPH. this can also be done with car gas. A real soild example of the above airplanes can be found for 13,000. Fly your hours and sell it for 13,000. If you can find a nice Taylor J2 Cub they have Continental A-40 engines even cheaper! If you want to get rediculouse the Aeronca C2 is by far the cheapest.

Even better, have to get a tailwheel endorsement and really learn how to fly

Then ground loop it and explain that in every interview you'll ever have.

Or you can become an intelligent skilled pilot and not have to worry about ground loops. I have actually watched a guy ground loop a C-150. I don't know how, and wouldn't believe it if I didn't watch it.

You missed the "really learn how to fly part". If you fly with your feet on the floor of any airplane while landing, bad things will eventually happen. But don't let that get in the way of the fresh copy of USA Today....

All those planes listed on your profile but no taildragger? And you're gonna speak aboutbground looping? Go get some, it'll even improve what your flying now!
