I also thought this was a real interesting post, even though it was a first post. A forum board is what prompts discussion, ideas, BS, feelings, experiences, etc. If one doesn't like what they read on a forum, then simply pass on to the next subject. And you can also add your comment(s)...
I too would like to know why he quit.
My crackberry has been silent the past several days.
And what's the issue with 136SL and the "big bad FAA inspector"?

Under subject areas, click instrument approaches, there you will find reprints of the Jepp Chart clinic series in pdf format for free.
Good review of the Jepp charts/approaches
Study the Aspen and Rifle approach and departure plates. Questions will be asked about climb grads, radio set up on the approach into Aspen, etc.
Be prepared to discuss your background. They like Part 135/fractional background. Some 121 guys on board.

2 hours ago on the Orlando News:
Transmeridian has stopped all service out of Orlando Sanford airport.
It appears they have ceased and have stranded all pax that held tickets.
Now I think what that "autoland" mean to that owner.
The Collins Pro Line FMS can give a 3 degree glideslope only to be used as reference for visual approaches only.
That 3 degrees can be modified for any desired angle.
Glideslope only, as the lateral guidance to the runway can be...
The Premier does NOT have any "autoland".
It has the Collins Pro Line 21 system with 3 displays.
Can be flown single pilot with the single pilot type.
Payload is crappy. With full fuel and two pilots, only 1 pax with bags!
TAS about 440 K at MCT.
It was designed as an owner flown (single...
The Pan AM name is painted on the sides of Boston Maine's 727s based out of Portsmouth,NH and Sanford, FL.
Many years ago(1998?) the name of Pan AM was bought in bankruptcy court (Carnival Airlines). That logo has trademark satus all over the world.
Do a search on Boston Maine in...
I worked for Boston Maine for 3 years. Trust me, you do not want to go there as a pilot for the long term. Go there to get some experience, then get the hell out. You don't want to stick around there even if you not a pilot. They have been trying for years to expand beyond their present 3...
"Jet PIlot" starring John Wayne
Speaking of John Wayne airplane movies, get (rent don't buy)or watch "Jet Pilot" starring John. It has to be one of the worst airplane movies ever made and probably John's worst movie. It was on the AMC channel about 2 weeks ago. It is a stupid and dopey...
Just announced a few minutes ago on the local Orlando news: TAB Express has closed its doors. Some students paid over 100K for their "turbine" training and were locked out of the building today. The owner blames Key Bank for pulling its financing for the school and the fledging airline that...
Just to clarify; Pam Am flight school and the former "PAN AM" airlines are (were) completely different. The former Pan AM airlines was based out of Sanford, FL amd Portsmouth, NH and flew 727s. They are no longer in existence, as their certificate was turned in to FAA on 1 Nov 2004. However...
I received my MES from them several years ago but in a Twin SeeBee. The aircraft were maintained well, the instructor was great, the owner of the place (at that time was Skip Newhart?) was very nice guy.
I received my SES rating in a Maule (which was a blast) from another FL outfit near...
Pan AM is gone as of 1 Nov 2004. Their certificate was tuned in to the FSDO. Boston-Maine Airways is flying the Pan Am logo 727s, mainly charters, scheduled service to begin (again) on May 20. Boston maine is flying the 727s that were ex-United and painted in Pan Am logo.
BMA just won the...
University of Colorado-Denver
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, just to name two.
Not sure what you mean about accelerated. Most stick to some kind of semester schedule.
Also University of Phoenix. Not sure about its accrediation though.
Your correct F16fixer
I would highly recommend an undergrad degree. Even if you are considering a "trade" occupation. It breaks open the doors. I know.
