    NDBs on the way out

    I think NDBs' are cool. Learning them was uncool. Now that I know what I'm doing when I shoot one I have mixed emotions about them leaving -all that time to learn how to shoot the approach and swoosh! Thier gone. Can't say I will miss em, I won't. Bring on Garmin!

    Everyone, this thread dealt with protecting your money and if you felt "shafted" by DCA, and 3 possible ways to remedy it. With Deltas' financial situation growing more precarious daily, it would behoove all of you still attending DCA to put your money into a protected account, for your own...

    [ QUOTE ] You should get your facts straight. I was upset with you including Vic's name into this mess. My curiosity on finding out who you are is just to know in which category you really fit in, by consulting your flight records. The flying eval was just an excuse to get more flight time...

    Oh Fabio, offended are we? You sound upset, and why are you trying to find out who I am? Oh by the way, who told you DCA was an airline? Ha,ha,ha. I agree with Mr. Nixon. There are more important things in life than bantering with you. You are funny though, and seeing you lose your cool is...

    Fabio, what is the point in doing a checkride with you, anyway? What do I have to prove to you- if you can't sign off my ticket as an FAA examiner- what are you really interested in? Isn't it because management is trying to find out about who is writing this expose' and informing people of...

    Anywhere else to get money?

    Try to find a flight school that may get you your ratings at that price might work for you, or if you need a degree, that may be a source by going to college.
