ATP WRITTEN

[Autothrust Blue]

Airlines will pay for it? awesome! That means if you want to get anywhere in the aviation industry you are now REQUIRED to suck it up and make sub 20K for a year at a regional.

I guess that's how they planned to take care of the pilot shortage.

...anybody wanna crowdsource a lawyer to get a court to impose an injunction on the written rule or would that even be possible at this point?

Sorry, I might have blanked out.

What was the cause for action again?

How much time do you have?

I'm not an ATP holder if that's what your asking. But I do have plenty non "flight hours" experiences if that counts for a non-flight hours conversation.

Dumb regulations like this + poor airline pilot wages are the things that keeps someone with so much love and respect for this industry, profession, and my "self-worthiness" away from seeking this thing-a-ma-jig called an ATP profession.

If you must know..... Military aircraft mechanic since 2001, Pvt 2002, Inst rated 2003, Got out military 2007, flew to meet COM requirments, went to college full time. Ran out of money. Got screw In College on GI-Bill to Post 9/11 transition. So no Post 9/11 after using GI-Bill. Worked in industry (Aerospace corporations as well).Took plenty law courses in consideration to enter law school, Interned at legal departments and also for a Judge Graduated College 2010 with 154 credits (vs 120) and with over a 3.0 GPA. Not a "hand it over" because I paid for it GPA. Worked in Aviation industry. Saved up more CASH. Then Flew flew flew flew flew, Commercial ride in 2012 Passed. Entered a Masters Program. Took some Masters Degree Courses. Got A's and B's ( realized how much I hated debt). Dropped out. Worked in Aviation.....

Now just about finished working on my CFI. Well it's basically half out the way since Passed my CFI Oral today! Examiner said I did an outstanding job, best he's seen in a long time" and "Top 5 that he's examined," he said. Obviously that makes me feel great! But the plane is actually broke so no fly for a few weeks (need time off Fracking in ND oil patch job. Yes Oil field job to stack up for this low paying CFI/ or Regional Airline Industry). I'll have to fly back in a few weeks to finish up flight portion. Can't let the good discontinuance letter expire like I did for my COMM back in 2007.

LONG DEBT FREE ROAD JUST TO ACHIEVE MY GOALS... Just upsetting that the the FAA now say's $10K+ just to take a written..... .... You see why people like me are "vexed" with this industry/FAA's retardedness?

To be honest. I wouldn't mind teaching as a CFI forever.... I love helping people learn and will seek to be Gold Seal.
