trainman0978 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 My fathers next door neighbor is a retired delta pilot.... Seems like he told me he retired making about 135k a year... not to mention his pension he collects now, and since he retired, he opened a very nice liquor store a few miles up the road... 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Voo Doo Blue my upgrades and "build" thread.

You would be suprised to know the minimum requirements to sit right seat in an airline slot,or even become captain,some of them are right out of flight training and barely meet the minimums.For instance,my boss owns his own twin turboprop king air that he charters out.every 6 months he has to go to flight safety to keep current.when he goes,he know more about the airplane that the teacher that is supposed to teaching him about,so he ends up showing the instructor alot of things,kinda backwards isnt it?he has tons of hours and time in the airplane but somebody with minimum time in it is trying to instruct him on how to fly it.Im not begging for your approval or anything,i just know what i see/hear everyday from pilots so i was just sharing it with you chode thats all man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
