Good try, but not realistic...

Nice! That takes a while though... So many hours required... What do you hope to do with your license eventually?

Flying .

Nah, to be honest, I just want to get a job, preferably in Europe, at some airliner. I don't really care in what company for my first job. After I've got a decent amount of hours I can start looking for the right company.

ya man! I'm probably gonna go the instructor route for my first flying job and then get all the other necessary ratings, maybe fly for some other small company and then when I got enough hours and all, I want to do missionary flying.

Hey, I wonder, do you still remember your first solo... I remember mine, one of the most surreal moments ever!

My first real solo was when I was 14, in a glider. It was awesome ! I went up just singing . First solo routing was awesome though. Actually flying somewhere without anyone next to you. I loved it.

And just to stay on topic slightly, my brother's godfather is a big cheese in the RAF's Chinooks (you know the giant twin blade tank carriers?). He will testify that you can "glide" in a helicopter as well.

And then there was that time when the carrier turned, and the destroyer didn't quite turn far enough, and the carrier ran over it. The ensuing fire is one of the many reasons Arleigh Burkes use all steel construction.

When (if?) you do find the right company, will you carry in my resume?

I went the instuctor route. Still instructing until the airlines hire again. I should have my ATP in a couple of months so hopefully that will help me in the job search. I haven't flown a Seneca yet, supposed to fly one this week actually, I'm pretty excited about it. I have about 1100 hours in Seminoles so it will e nice to have a little more horse power
