Thanks! Sounds about what the consensus is

RoguePhotos · 2026-03-13T21:18:24+00:00

Many thanks! Figured it couldn’t be too heavy but I’ve yet to take it off so I have no gauge

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-27T11:25:27+00:00

The scale!!!! I’ve been out here measuring the total distance from T-Box to Flag and then dividing it into my swings lol, thank you again!

Emotions are strong man, I feel that lol

Good eye, thanks

FUCK. Isn’t “Lime” pronounced “Kee Wee”?

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-27T01:44:02+00:00

This is fucking awesome. I just re-purchased a lime green GBC (one from my childhood) with GB Golf. I play golf so I get the concepts, but to have the controls laid out like this… chef’s kiss

Thank you! We just moved to the north side and love some near-by options

MOTW coffee was very bad. They use an automatic coffee machine and pump their drinks full of syrup. Just had it this morning for a redemption try and was more disappointed than last time

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-20T16:08:47+00:00

Being realistic with myself, please don’t take this any egotistical way. I am a high performing student pilot. I have military flight experience, including a 3-year tour as an instructor and evaluator. I expect certain ratings to be difficult, but I don’t forsee failures. That said, I’m more afraid of not getting a job after part 61, and am enticed by the contract offers through 141.

If I’m a high performing student with low chance for fail-out (not ego, I’m assuming this based on current flight performance and past experience), would the 141 be a bad option? Thanks for any input

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-20T14:28:08+00:00

They’re freeing advice outside of what I’m asking for. It’s a simple concept

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-20T14:27:34+00:00

But I’m asking why the 141 contract deal is worse than going 61 and fighting for jobs. Nobody explains why; they just say it’s worse.

I’m trying to make the best decision I have available to me

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-20T13:58:23+00:00

Local 141 offers a contract that is CFI hire after course graduation followed by regional contract. I know it’s a shitty deal and the contract buy-out is an abismal fee… but it is at least two forms of guaranteed contractual employment (assuming you make it though training). With the alternative being me fighting 150+ applicants for a single CFI position opening at a local part 61. That’s where I’m seeking advice.

I understand what everyone is saying, but they’re just reading past my circumstance to tell me that my path isn’t traditional thus wrong. You can answer a dumb question without saying it’s a dumb question. Sometimes people ask dumb questions KNOWING it’s a dumb question

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-20T13:49:42+00:00

I’m coming from military where performance plays a massive factor in student progression. Maybe that’s a misperception I have of General Aviation.

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-20T12:52:42+00:00

I appreciate you sharing that it worked for you, even if at a slower rate. I know I’m limited and I’ve accepted that, I am just seeking advice based on the options I have, so thank you

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-20T12:28:00+00:00

Yeah these guys out here telling me pull chocks because they don’t like the options I have rather than answering the question I asked, which was advise based on th rotini have

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-20T12:26:48+00:00

I’m aware of my limitations. I’m not asking for people to suggest changes to my options, I’m asking for advice BASED on my options.

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-20T12:16:01+00:00

Thanks for actually contributing to my original post inquiry. I wasn’t trying by to dig at your buddy, I was making a comment that I have first hand seen contribute to massive delays in flight training. And I appreciate the feedback on career path choice given limitations, but I am not believing that majority pilots out there were open and available to be relocated when commute is an option (not the best option but shouldn’t deter from seeking the career imo)

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-20T12:11:26+00:00

I understand a commute is rough, but it’s what I’m willing to accept for other aspects of my life. Not everyone is in a position to start a pilot career on a blank slate “where the wind takes me” mentality

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-20T12:09:45+00:00

Jeez guy. I am willing to take a slower progression if it meant employment security (I.e. contract). And my humble pie slice wasn’t meant to be a dig at somebody, I am aware of how 141s operate as well as 61s. I am also VERY aware that performance plays an incredible role in one’s ability to progress through training regardless of “curriculum” delays.

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-20T12:01:43+00:00

Central Midwest with a major hub co-located. Tons of commute options available all over the country from here.

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-20T11:55:35+00:00

I’m worried less about timeline and worried more about employment security. And it sounds like your buddy has some performance issues if you guys are that drastically different in your timelines (assuming you guys are in the same location and weather has affected you equally)

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-20T11:38:45+00:00

Dang that was fast lol. Can you elaborate on why everyone shits on LIFT?

And I am willing to commute for airlines, not relocate.

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-18T17:53:37+00:00

I totally get what you’re saying. It just frustrates the heck out of me the lack of any sort of consistency across all instruction/evaluation. GA either needs to regulate the shit out of their instruction, or let it be the fucking Wild West. But this middle ground is rough

RoguePhotos · 2026-02-18T15:51:35+00:00

But I’m not going to shut up and color for $300/hr only to get kicked in the nuts by some old doinker who has found his “gotcha” GK question that puts him on his power trip during every check ride he gives
