This is why you should have facts before speaking. Sir, I am almost 40yrs old, I worked my butt off 40-60hrs a week in a factory, with a family and mortgage through 3 years of flight training. I spent my own money ( well mine and my wifes..) to get to where I am. To be frank, my Instructor all those years, thought this route was very good for me to go, and yes he is a captain for a corporate 135 op where I will probably end up some day. He was a better instructor in my eyes because he trained me from day one like I was in an 2 crew aircraft, and he could do this with his experiance. That is what I endevour to do now that I have some experiance to fall back on (121 ops) when I become and instructor. I believe it will definatly make me a better instructor than someone who is there building time on the back of a student simply waiting for the call. I know not all CFI's are like this, but they are out there. I also plan to start volunteering to fly for the CAP, again to give somthing back. I have no problem with people who chose their own destiny, and however you got to where you are, good for you, you got there. I am totally fine with my decisions, to date. Thank you for your input to the conversation.

I also had the pleasure of running into a young Captain (His real initials are B.S) who confronted me and became pseduo aggressive becasue he was not hired by Spirit following an interview. He is just one of many who I see every day. It has always been my belief that you should never pay for training, that will solicit your skills in the process. The company is making money off of you paying for training. You are a required crewmember... Do you realize that?

Ummmm..... I thought you worked for Spirit??? Do you hang out at there training center in Fort L. or up at the sim in Denver on your days off or something? Im confused or are you just making things up because you just dont agree with it?

Your syntax would lead anyone to believe that you spend your free time hanging outside the 1900 Sim.

Part of teaching is communication. I hope you're better at communicating company policies and procedures than you are at getting across your own original ideas.
