Might be nice since I already live in Independence.

Oh yeah!! I only have 7.9hrsTT so far.

The way your rollin' through, you might be there(time wise) before you know it.
So how you feeling so far. Sounds like your doing well.

Doing good so far, just getting more comfortable. Still working on the landings of course, the usual I guess. My instructor keeps throwing things at me I don't expect, like the Foggles today. I just try to roll with what he wants, and do the best I can with things. He is both tough and knowledgeable, and I feel like he is teaching me to be a PILOT and not just someone who can fly. So I am fortunate.

Already sent my resume . . .

This is one of the jobs I'd LOVE to have when I get out of the navy... I've been eyeing it for about 2 years now

I'm working on that 1200 though... Only need 400 more hours in 15 months!

Think I can do it?

buffalopilot · February 25th, 2006, 09:43

Notice the 4 year degree preferred, I bet the guy with the degree gets it!

Grabo172 · February 25th, 2006, 10:09

"... or flight school training"

I think an AS in Aviation Science and tons of flight school expirience (at a CPC) would help out...

Just... need... 1200... hours...

A 4 year degree in Independence, KS is about as common as a 17 year old virgin these days. Hey anyways, if anyone comes down and interviews, let me know and maybe we could grab a bite or something.

Houses are DIRT ASS CHEAP here. That was why I moved here, and its a nice little town. I enjoy it a great deal.

If it's in Independence, that means more than likely it's Cessna. Which means guys with degrees, flight school experience, and everything else under the sun are gonna come in droves to apply for this one. Look for stiff competition. Then again, you do have to move to Independence.

Grabo172 · February 26th, 2006, 08:48

Yep it's Cessna.

Lloyd, you get it this round, then in 14 months, when you've taken over the place and are running it and I'm about to be on terminal leave, I'll shoot you my resume!

desertdog71 · February 26th, 2006, 09:29

Of course its Cessna, there is nothing else here....LOL

How did you guess that?

Was it the fact the job description mentioned Cessna several times or did you just guess?

Hey, you fly from SDL-ELP-CNM-GKY through t-storms with a diversion due to ice and see what happens to your SA!
