It's official

scottyboy75 · October 30th, 2007, 09:56

Got my business cards and watch yesterday. I am now a fulltime helo CFI at Utah Helicopter. I having been filling in here and there but yesterday the cheif pilot took me to lunch and stated "I am tired of all your crap in my office would you get it out and use it." He then threw me a box of business cards, the keys to the office and some polo shirts. Then proceeded to reprimand me for being out of uniform. It was the best feeling in the world.
I also got a watch for completing the program with them. It does not seem like much but very few fininsh their II in the helo world.

What's a disco flight cost with ya'll?

Ian J · October 30th, 2007, 10:11

Probably about 10 hours of pay flying your fancy jet.

scottyboy75 · October 30th, 2007, 10:12

100 bucks. Its 1/2 of ground and 1/2 of flight.

Although I've been to Utah exactly zero times in my life, I am hoping to double that number soon.

scottyboy75 · October 30th, 2007, 23:01

Thanks guys. It feels good to be done with school. I get a whole two days off from studying as I have to give a safety class on human factors for our safety meeting on Fri.

aloft · October 30th, 2007, 23:07

Dude!! Congrats!! At least now you're getting paid to wear that ugly orange jacket!

scottyboy75 · October 30th, 2007, 23:30

I got four ugly orange shirts to with it. Besides I told you its for safety I have seen some of the guys who fly at air center. I am not a fan of diving under aircraft on the ramp as a 90 year old sport pilot is taxiing his Teccan Bravo at me.

Hey just wanted to let you know that I refered a potential helicopter student to you. He's in your area, and I told him to take a visit to Utah Helicopters and speak with Shane. Not sure if he's made the visit, but just letting you know you might have a newbie coming your way.

Steckman18 · November 9th, 2007, 12:39

TheAviator737 · November 9th, 2007, 20:12

tinman · November 13th, 2007, 23:11

Hey Shane,
One of my old students wants to check out the whole helo thing, do you have a number, or should he just call the school? He might be a career changer, and wants to talk to someone about it. Thanks
