Whoa, touchy there buddy. Who wiped a booger on your windshield? No one is saying don't apply. You can go apply all day long. Just drop the entitlement attitude. I love the way you make it sound like you deserve to be in an RJ rather than teaching guys how to fly a pattern. I guess thats because instructing is beneath you, right? Ever thought that the instructor thing isn't for you because you are tripping over yourself to get into an RJ? Maybe if you spent more time making instructing fun and less time drawing pictures of RJs with your name painted under the window then you might enjoy instructing a little more.

PS
Your attitude ROCKS, dumb@ss

Oh, brother. I guess I will go back and continue drawing pictures of RJs with my name on them then.

Anymore usefull information from anyone?

No need for anyone to over interpret what anyone says here. I rarely participate in these discussions due to the fact that everything I say will be misinterpreted horribly.

The guy came to you all, who know so much, asking a simple question. He said, "The instructing thing isn't for me" and that he wanted to move to the regionals.

Give him a break.

Let's all remember that all of us here in the regional section don't have much reason to be cocky. I fly a Citation (let me beat you guys to the point, a slow-tation; you got me), and I'm in the same boat.

Were all just trying to make it here somehow.

Thanks MWright.

I really don't feel like I have an entitlement attitude. I have worked very hard to be where I am, just like everyone else. I plan on going to interviews and doing my best, and hoping that it is what they are looking for. No one owes me anything (but I do owe the bank, doh!)

I still can't find out where I showed an entitlement attitude. Please point it out so that I can change it, I don't want to be that guy.

This will bring about a ton of hateful messages but I will say it anyway.

There are a few people one here with terrible attitudes, and even more who hate low time guys like us. I'm not going to name names b/c I would be immediately banished from the forum.

Luckily, most of them stay pretty quiet.

We are all just guys and gals trying to make it in the world. Gotta love it.

like the others have said, dont worry what someone else here says,
in your own mind you can find the info useful or not.

Look out for youself in the near term. get some time in just like I am going to have to, and then you start the give back game.

There has been some really nice and helpful people and not so helpful people that have replied to me, but at the end of the day there is no one but me that pays my mortgage.

I would say dont change a thing on how you behave here, speak you mind.

I dont really see a thing wrong with what you said, but again, I am nearly in the same boat.

Most airlines are sticklers for the 100 multi, but in recent history Skyway, Trans States, and Air Whiskey, have all taken pilots in with under a hundred. Mesa has taken some that didn't have it, but were close. To anyone trying to figure out where to send their resume who has less than a hundred..... my best advice is to send them to where you want to go, and not worry about it. Airlines are notorious for ignoring their mins if they're desperate enough. I would also like to warn the guy that said "teaching just isn't for him" that airlines really like guys who have actually been a professional pilot in some fashion. Just going out there and buying time can work, but it's bound to get brought up on your interview, and it won't look good.

I almost didn't post this after I wrote it because I bet that no one will care, but here it is anyways:



Perhaps I should expand on what I meant when I said that "instructing isn't for me". This isn't a sob story or anything, just trying to clear the air. People take EVERYTHING out of context, so I am ready for someone to take this out of context as well.

I have been instructing for a while. I am currently instructing. I look at the other instructors and see that most students would learn better from the other instructors. There are some students that I really work well with, but I don't think they learn as much from me. I get along with them well, but I have never been the world's best teacher. They made me a teacher's aid in high school for photography because I was good at it. They found out that just because you know something, doesn't mean that you can teach.

Anyways, there are some instructors that would rather instruct for a while building time to get to a good regional, but I would rather not instruct, I would rather work at a less desirable regional to build the time I need to go somewhere desirable. Plus, where I instruct, I could make much more money even at places like Great Lakes than I am instructing.

Anyways, that is why I am wondering who is hiring people with low multi time pilots.
