I respect your opinion, but give it a break. I think most guys here has read and know what you think about the career in aviation. There is no need to preach it. Whats next? Knocking on doors in your neighborhood trying to convert non-believers?

You hang around this forum for some reason. What is it?
I enjoy writing and sharing my experiences and opinions. I also miss my avuiation comrads.

I am forced to assume that most here have airline intentions since it is called "Airline Pilot Central". In addition is makes no sense at all to blow a small fortune to become a career CFI.

I honestly feel that everyone here should chip in $20 to a fund that sends an informative CD to every new student pilot applicant.

Outside of that everyday thousands of people log on to this forum. Most have never heard of Skyhigh or of his crazy ideas.

Oh, c'mon skyhigh, you want back in again I know you do, HAHE
Seriously why not try for Alaska? From what I understand thats where you wanted to be. Go get current, take a leap of faith and try it again. Get back on horse. I may be a young buckaroo here but, I do know big rewards don't come without big risk. Take the risk

Since you "care" so much about how others spend their money and their careerpath, you might be on to something. I suggest you sit down and spend some of your time making that CD since you have so much information you want to share.

Yes of course I want back in. I think about it everyday. I do have an application in at Alaska Airlines but I am not holding my breath. Outside of that you guys can have it.

You overlook the fact that some people may be happy flying King Air at a small charter operation. Its not always about the money.

I know a guy who was still flying a Kingair for the local FBO at 66 and still lived with his mother. Money becomes important over time for most.

If you promise you NEVER will post anything about a career in aviation your $20 might be closer than you think.
