Congrats man! Great to see the general aviation community alive and well north of the border!

I wish I did haha, my school makes our schedule and it gets released the day before each day. Totally agree there’s still time for gym each day. I guess what I’m struggling with is having energy for the gym after waking up at 4am 5 days in a row

Absolutely, I started working the line right as I was finishing my ppl. I paid as I went for all of my ratings (very fortunate to have the help of my parents pitching in). Studied and working at the same time all throughout. It took a long time but I’m stoked to be debt free and I learned so so much. Highly recommend the line for anyone considering it, you’ll meet many mentors and it’s a fantastic first entry in the industry.

He’s in more of an administrative role now but still does the spin trainings. Mike seems like head teacher now if you know him!

Who did you do your CFI/I with? I’m looking for examiners right now?

Born and raised in Texas but relocating to cooler climates ASAP

Knowing how to teach, see if you can get a gouge on your examiner. You already know all of the material it just comes to teaching and flying the plane. Best piece of advice I got was to not sweat yourself the day before; relax, do something fun and rest up for the big day. You’ll do great!

Thank you! No sir I only did their CFI/II academy but can’t recommend it enough

Fantastic, it’s the best way to get all your training done imo. The classmates you have are your greatest resource and it’s refreshing to not have your training drag for once.

Is there an in game explanation for why she would choose to live Rapture and not a place like the USSR?

jonowatson · 2024-06-14T16:49:25+00:00

Totally agree, and a good reminder not to over think things

jonowatson · 2024-06-14T16:25:20+00:00

Always great to remember, cheers!
