Experience: Pvt/Inst; 160 TT all in Cessnas (and not the fast mover Cessnas). A few ancient hours on the crusty T-37 sim back at the Springs.

Short Term Goals: Keep chasing that zen state of instrument proficiency oneness with the universe and just have some fun flying on the weekends. Maybe bum a ride on something that huffs Jet-A once in a while.

Long Term Goals: Comm, CFI, CFII someday. I'd like to teach primary part time so I can hopefully mentor the next generation. I've got a decent non-pilot career gig going on, so full time flying and cargo/pax ops aren't in my future. Maybe buy a plane with a good group of local pilots.

I can save you a lot of heartache. Just send me a check (multiply length of boat desired X $1,000). No hassle, same end result.

You're welcome!

Experience: About 1500 TT, 900 as CFI, achieved IFR 135 Mins

Short term: Create curriculum and training program for Instrument students, get my CFII, become a well rounded instrument pilot before applying for jobs

Long term: prefer cargo or corporate, but would like a job that:

-pays the bills and lets me save a little
-has benefits (at least a day or two off a year or med/dental)
-allows me a little time to pursue a personal life with my g/f

I have almost 50 hours logged. Been around aviation my whole life.

I want to get my PPL by the end of the summer. Instrument soon thereafter. Commercial by next summer would be amazing.

Get 1200 hours and then either go to Ameriflight or run my own 135 op. I might be able to get to a legacy faster through a 'regional', but I have little desire to play the contract feed game, unless Colgan keeps the BHB base.

Uber long term, fly for a legacy, it would probably be CAL because of who I'm related to.

Experience: 2 years as a Sugar Mama/ Trophy Wife. Survived life with an ATP student/instructor who is currently an FO at XJet. And 1 flight as a passenger in an Archer II several months ago. Discontinued b/c the kid threw up on my lap. Grew up with a parent employed with UAL.

Short Term: Make it through the next year while saving as much as we can of that 1st year FO salary. Quit my low paying do-gooder job with a national non-profit.

Long Term: Complete that Masters degree in Family Studies and become a Lady Who Lunches when I retire from Sugar Mamaing.

Experience: 750ish TT, only 35 multi .

Short term: Fatten the logbook, take the IFR checkride with FLX, get in the Baron, fly the line to 1500 TT or so.

Long term: Get on board with a reputable corporate department or fractional. Contract and do something about SJS, but make good money doing it. Stay FAR FAR away from 121.
