Default Re: Hello from Dallas

I have run into a pilot who recently graduated for 90 day ATP program. He said as right now they would hire you right after graduation. He didn't even have to be an instructor for a day. He said the flying is great but the hotel sleep sucks as he is currently flying for American Eagle. I agree there will be alot of debt and the certaincy for a job is slim. Gas price keep going up, airlines keep cancelling more flights. Pilots were on strike agaisnt American Airlines. Sometimes I wanted to stop but I already got 25 hours on my PPL through a local club calls Texan Flying club. Someday I feel really good when practicing landings, some day I feel like #### and just want to get out the cockpit. I do have nausea issue even though I ate just a little 3 hour ago before flying. I found a tip to help reducing this problem but letting the air vent flows directly to my face. ATP way is fast and expensive but you have an option for loan versus FBO way you need to use credit card, no loan, longer. I am working 2 jobs now and am training 2 times a week .

Please advise.
