I'd enjoy checking somebody out in 55908 who has flown the G1000 in an SR20, SR22, and Phenom and only flown "non-glass" for a few hours in the Arrow & Seminole...it'd be fun <hand wringing smiley>

Nice! You read my mind. I think we're all hoping for that one! I do now our checkout requirements are going to go up significantly...

Sebastian, let me guess who is the best instructor over there? hmm... it must be WEST! i discovered being ripped off on the second day in school, but people told me that it was too late, i signed the contract already. (although i had the right to discontinue the training) for those who are interested in this school, just go for it if you think they still have connection with airlines, and overpaying 30-40% higher training fee than other...

Thanks. The interview went well. I filled out some paperwork, we went over my resume, company history, expectations, etc. She liked me and I liked the company. I went up for an interview flight with the Chief Pilot and I guess I did alright there, even with the months of rust. Just did some basic PPL maneuvers and touch and go's. The next day I was in for orientation and the aircraft checkout... I was back to instructing by the weekend!...

Food for thought: There was a time when taking your time meant dropping hundreds of senority numbers at that first regional, not today. Look into a program where you pay as you go. So what if it takes more time. You're not loosing a place at the table, with few jobs opening up. You'll be much happier going into your first aviation job debt free as apposed to being heavily in debt and having no way to pay it off.

Congrats on getting the job! May I ask where it is?
