Hey everyone, I'm a new member to the board and am looking forward to getting some great information here. This isn't my first post, my first was a question on color blindness (which by the way I got excellent replies to) so I figured I'd utilize my second post to introduce myself.

Im 17 as a senior in HS and I'm about to join a local flight school (LangaAir in stl area) to hopefully get all my ratings and start a career in piloting. This depends on if I pass those stupid color blindness tests, which apparently I should.

Anyway, it seems like a pretty good flight school there, I've met the crew and I like it so far, I can work at my own pace, use all '99 or newer planes, and finish in around 9 months. Best of all I'm guaranteed a position as a CFI with them that pays in the top 90% at 25-35k depending on my availability I put in. Plus with their affiliation with a local college I get some 46 free credit hours as the flight courses are considered classes by the college. So, hopefully all works out as I work as a cfi for at least 4 years while getting a degree and then pursue that illusive dream job.
