what the $#%# is a cookie cutter pilot? i saw this on the paris air ad flashing here. i did not recieve any training on cookie cutter piloting in flight school. does anyone know where i can get this training? do airlines care if your cookie cutter current? i think i may be screwed.
 
The term "cookie cutter" refers to creating a lot of the same of something. I would think that it means that the institution creates a lot of pilots that have the same skills, (but not necessarily skilled, usually underexperienced pilots).

I wish that they would have shown me how to use a cookie cutter. At least then I could get a job that paid more than a CFI...

I wonder if that's why they always have those Otis Spunkmeyer (sp?) cookies at the Signature FBOs?

I LOVE those cookies... sometimes I used to go to a furniture store in VA that had those, just for the cookies... I wouldn't buy anything, but I'd munch on the cookies...

Chefs can make good money, but mostly they are like pilots and work for chump change before they make good pay. My uncle is a chef, and he has been one for 20 years, yet he just got a well paying job a few years ago.

A long while back, I worked as a baker/pastry chef assistant. When his business when t/u, he brought me along to the Holiday Inn (in good old Middleton, WI). I think that he was making pretty good scratch, but the tax problems that he had from his business took care of that...

I on the other hand was making somewhere in the neighborhood of $4.50/hr... Throw in the fact that I worked from 11pm to 7am and that pretty much limited my interest in that job to a few months.

I could make one hell of a cheesecake though! (the real kind... 3-4" thick)
