    Great. I fly out of DVT often. Ill just have to avoid your newbie know-nothing ass when any Westwind plane is airborne, as I value my life.

    Who's Homer? I think someone is leading you astray.....:)

    And whats the problem with the BK comparison? It's valid.

    For the bold, there are other things you can do to help that.....like in what you post here. :)

    Stop being so analytical and trying to turn everything into a damn physics equation. Look at things in a simple manner

    Not necessarily. There is no ONE route. CFI is just one way to do it. I didn't CFI as a primary gig, just did it on the side.

    Working for Great Lakes = 14k a year
    My mortgage = 10k a year

    Just doesn't make sense for me.

    Have you talked with Larsen yet? He's quirky but he'll do you right if you are serious. One of the good guys.

    This is failed logic, and logic that many pilots use. Have better SA.

    This thread is almost as fun as sitting home sans XBox...which is what I do.

    In 2008 I had inside track with 2 internal referrals to GL. I swear the seat was mine...except I smashed the brakes and run o f f t. $900/month for the 121 pilot starter kit. My sanity was serious questioned by the masses; Boy, have you lost your mind, why didn't I jump at the chance?

    I know one who did. There was no doubt he was born with SJS. Such finery, so dapper, he looked the part. He almost made it to the magical 1000 turbine. Even he could not stand the jive. Even though he had a well paid GF cum wife.

    A career is a career is a career. I have long given up on the idea of 'fixing' the industry. My best advice; put your head down and get it done whether it is shoveling or flipping or flying. Have you ever noticed that opportunity comes to those who are prepared? Or something like that.

    RE: CFIing...one of my early CFIs was barely to 500 TT when he got his next job flying a brand new Bo. Another CFI at that time secured right seat in a Falcon 10 with less than 1000 TT. Schmoozing (networking) got him that gig. Within one year he was fully qualed PIC in that Falcon...paid by the company. Right place/right time is just another name for networking. Being a CFI opens many doors. But I still have that bitter taste of CFIs who obviously only thought of the position as a stepping stone to bigger bushes, better berries. Don't CFI to build hours, instruct because you want to learn and impart knowledge to others.

    @swisspilot If you are still down there when I arrive sometime next year I'll buy you a beer or two. I'm in the midst of buying my newest sailboat. Something around 60'. I'll stay flight current but I am leaving the airport to go back to the marina. I have more sailing miles than flight minutes. Finally having found the beautiful woman of my dreams seals the deal.

    Um, editing error. I meant 'becoming', ie, change of status but did not delete the Latin term.
