freefalle 0 #1 April 26, 2002 well, after much thought I decided to get the hell off my job. Ive always wanted to be a pilot so Im doing it. The student loans are complete, the money will be here Monday and Im starting. Its going to be a long road to my future but at least it will be my chosen path and for that I am happy. For anyone who is curious Im attending Phoenix East Avation in Daytona and going to go through the program for commerical pilot and on to ATP when I have enough hrs. in. Starting over is a little scary but was jumping out of an airplane the first time I did it. I know there are a few commerical pilots on here, any advise would be welcome.

TheMarshMan1 0 #3 April 26, 2002 QuotePhoenix East Avation in DaytonaI've got a friend that goes (went? he may be done) there to escape the dysfunction of Riddle's flight department. He likes it. Flying out of Daytona is fun....busy 'round the clock...I can't wait to get back to FL....just over two weeks......"If I could be like that, I would give anything, just to live one day, in those shoes..."

diverdriver 6 #5 April 26, 2002 Quotedysfunction of Riddle's flight department.I resemble that remark. ChrisAdvice: Study, study, study, and then study some more. Know everything. It might be that 1% that gets you killed down the road. And failure is not an option. It's what I go by. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freefalle 0 #7 April 26, 2002 yea I know the market sucks right now but I figure in 2 yrs when I finish, hopefully it will be better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diverdriver 6 #8 April 26, 2002 Be glad you didn't come out in 1992. It really sucked then too. In 1988 when I started it was all rosey and great for the outlook. Then it went into the tank. Yah, 2-3 years and it should be going gang-busters again.Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #9 April 26, 2002 Oh and since you're going into the aviation world, there's one piece of mandatory reading you won't get on your syllabus from Phoenix and definately won't get from Embry-Riddle. Go HERE and read all about what it's like to go through flight school and get a job.Specifically START HERE.quadehttp://futurecam.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dutchboy 0 #11 April 26, 2002 Something you might want to consider. Since the market does suck so bad right now, why spend the big dollars to go to the quicky schools? You could build all those hours for far less money in other ways.The DutchboyPhil's Flying Enterprises, Inc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spy38W 0 #13 April 26, 2002 You can subscribe to AvFlash at http://www.avweb.com and get them sent in a two times per week aviation newsletter. Pretty much the only reason I get it, along with "Short Final" on Mondays. --Give them a sip of the darkside, and they just thirst for more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
