Hired by ExpressJet!
See everyone in class on the 11th. Now I just have to pass training.
Thanks Doug for having an awesome website. Thanks ATP for being an awesome flight school to train at. Thanks Chesapeake Proflight for being an awesome flight school to work at. Thanks to the members here for the help with getting the job.
Times were 980 and 185 and a hell of an internal recommendation.

But seriously, there's nothing wrong with Van Hoolio. I remember where I came from! And it keeps the dream alive. If I can go from bus driver to airline pilot, so can anyone else!
Hey RJ, thanks for the recommendation. I don't think I would have been hired without it!
