I was flying for Riverside Flight Center, but just moved out to Arizona because I just wasn't making the money I needed there. I loved all of the people there, but I just wasn't making ends meet.
As for the .7 Why would I lie about that? We were taking off on 1L. Not that I SAT there for .7. From engine start, taxi, run-up, and then waiting in line. The line went from that angled hold-short line all the way past the tower. We had just as many Indians there as you guys had Chinese.
And don't think I'm baggin' on Spartan. Some of my closest friends on this planet are Black Cats. It is just widely known that you can get the same for much less at many other places. Spartan=ERAU, UND, etc... |
Sorry about that. I think my post came off the wrong way. I thought you attended Spartan and graduated. I thought their A&P program was A LOT cheaper if you were a graduate from the flight side. The Bachelor program is offered to me at 90% off as long as I maintain all A's. That's a hell of a deal if you ask me.
In regards to the .7, I forgot the
tag. I can definitely see that happening now that they are not letting people taxi into position and hold. My point was it has gotten crazy at times since that rule went into effect. That's definitely a lot of time and MONEY to waste on the ground. Been there, done that.
How was RFC while you were there? I have a friend moving back from Arizona to work there. He was told he could get anywhere from $32-40K a year instructing. What are your thoughts about the place?
