Will read the rest of the post tomorrow, I am a little drunk right now so my reply would likely be useless, g'nite.

I have never owed anybody anything for any training because I always...

Congrats, and enjoy the rating a little bit!

And I will definitely enjoy every minute of it. No worries on the pills...

Yeah! It cost me an arm and a leg, but well worth it!!! I am planning on going on a couple of cross countries and jumping right into the IR. I shouldn't take too long because it would be very difficult to get back into learning mode if I did slack off.

Before you invest $50K into trying to get a flying career, read up on some of the many many posts here about why the airlines suck nowadays. Maybe they'll be better in some years, maybe they won't. I'd look long and hard at the military if I were you (that's what I'm doing!). More interesting mission profiles, more interesting aircraft, they treat you better, etc.

It may not be less than Vs√ n and need not be greater than Vc, but it could be greater if the...

If, as the OP has said, it's in writing, I'd sure like to see it. The only student pilot endorsement I'm aware of that does not require the endorsing CFI to...
