What's up?!?!?! Last time I was on JC was late summer of last year. I started training with Xjet in summer and everything seemed to be looking good. I had finally made the big step towards the airlines. After about 1700hrs and 4 years of CFIing I figured it was time to make the next step.

I love to travel and I think the number one thing that attracted me to the airlines was the travel benefits of an airline pilot. Anyway, after having a crappy quality of life and seeing that I was going no where (with no hiring), I decided to quit. So I left about 6 weeks ago and got a new job back as a CFI in SoCal. Finally a CFI gig that allows me to make good money AND be home everynight.

I think CFIing is my calling. I love to teach others how to fly. I like to fly for fun. It's a good thing when you can bank the wings whenever you want and not have to worry about 50+ other people in the airplane.

My new plan (hah! we'll see if this one last) is to CFI for a while until the FAA finally accepts my application as a DPE... I don't care if it takes many years, I'll be ready for it.

..... oh yeah, HI EVERYONE! I plan on being around more and making more post.... I also look forward to seeing all of you in October.... VEGAS!!!!!
