That narrows my list of airlines available to me down to less than a handful. |
Off the top of my head, doesn't Colgan have a NY base? Or at least some bases which are really, really close?

The other side of the story is, it's been a long time since I've even looked at any of this Part 121 regulations and my instrument knowledge is as rusty as a door nail. I'm also going into it on my own with the unfortunate fact that I have CAPT on my resume, which I would love to not put down, but there's no other way to explain the 2 year gap in my life otherwise; not to mention that DC-9 type rating that marks me as a CAPT graduate (which my friend has advised me not to request the FAA to remove). I have no one at CAPT to substantiate my laurels nor do I want any from them. In other words, I'm just another street pilot.

So. Are you going to get current, and lube up those IFR skills?

Thanks for noticing. It's about due for a refresh, though. The avatar, I mean. The show starts up next week.
