Well, weather has posed a little threat for my training over the last week or so and it doesn't look like it'll let up in time for my last checkride on Alabama. Hopefully, the weather and convective activity will hold out in time enough for me to fly out there and knock out this single engine flight instructor checkride on Thursday. I may end up actually going tomorrow instead of Thursday if another student ends up backing out of his checkride tomorrow due to the weather.
Nice to hear from everyone on my last post. Thank you all for your compliments and encouragement. As of right now I have a possible gig flying parttime in Knoxville in 172's, a Piper Arrow, and a Piper Saratoga. This may be enough to keep me busy until ATP calls me down to Jacksonville to instruct for them. I've been applying for other flight instructor positions across the country with what little free time I've had but no luck yet with anyone other than this possible instructing gig in Knoxville. I'll keep you all posted.
There's always flying to be had in places like Indonesia......
Barry, you got a right seat in a Brazilia or 1900 open? lol

Dude, if you have another $30,000 to drop, check this out: http://www.gulfstreamacademy.com/. I'll spot you a 20 to get you started. I kid, I kid, but it looks like you're pretty much guaranteed a FO job with Continental Connection when done. And have you looked into the new GI Bill that just came out recently (called the "Post 9/11 GI Bill)? Academy grads are eligible now. It might cover some of this stuff. Just a thought. Hope everything is still going well. Later!

Nah I'm not agreeing to pay for a type rating. They teamed up with ATP so ATP could get current prospective students to qualify for the lonas they currently cannot qualify for. As for the GI Bill... I won't qualify for it because I didn't serve for 15 months past my 5 year contract or someting like that.
