Trans States newest FO

As Borat would say: "Great Success!"

Interview went as smooth as my wife's legs.

Less than a year ago I got back into flying after a 4 year hiatus. Back then I was a PP with 80TT. Today I couldn't be any happier.

JC is a great tool for new pilots like me. I acquired some valuable knowledge about the industry and flying in general on this website.

Thanks to my wife, family, myself and all of you at JC...I got the job.

Ps: 760/120

April 7th class. March class had been filled the day before so they asked if I want to be on standby for March. So for now it's the April class.

HAHAHA...thanks buddy.

You know you are a huge part of it all!

I'll always be grateful for all you did to help me out. BTW what a killer letter of recommendation. I think I saw a tear roll down one of the interviewer's cheeks.

I only flew a few hours in March last year when I got back into flying. In April I started flying every weekend. In May I was doing a lot of flying at night (IFR training) after work and on the weekends off. I quit my old job in June to build time for the commercial ticket. In July I got the commercial me and se addon. Got married soon after that and went on honeymoon. In August I got an aerial mapping job which helped me gain valuable experience and build lots of time.

I was lucky enough to meet some really nice people along the way and I'm enjoying every single day of the journey.

P&H · February 16th, 2008, 02:58

Hey you and your wife have travel benefits now. I expect a visit to ATL in the near future.

Glad things worked out for you man. I know it's what you wanted.

SkiHigh2002 · February 16th, 2008, 08:26
