Let me know what you decide. Good luck. |
FWIW,
That ad rubs me the wrong way. It actually says 'Profession: Pilot. Career: Actor'.
That's someone offensive to me. How many part 135/121 checkrides to you think he's taken? How many paychecks has he received from providing flying services? How many 8 week training programs has he completed with his career and livelihood on the line with a single checkride?
Do you think he's established his lifestyle by forging on as a professional pilot?
If so...my apologies.
Otherwise...don't go calling yourself a professional pilot if you're not bringing home the bacon by carrying the mail.
