Re: Bidding DCA farewell?

Well living in Central Florida is becoming non-condusive to quality of life as well as my flight training. I'm starting to get that Socal strain feeling on my wallet, plus I f'n hate the weather here. I've put in for a transfer to either CVG, CHO, ROA, TYS, or SDF. I need to slow the op tempo down from a hub with over 30 something flights a shift to maybe 8-10. My body is begging for mercy!
I'm getting that gerbal on the spinning wheel feeling as far as my flight traing is going and I've just about spent my $48,000 on VFP, Inst, and CSEL which is almost slowly coming to being complete. I'm moving to slow for the instructors so, I get passed along to another istructor as the token student. And they are always close to doing their MEI. I'm picky who I fly with and the number of instructors Standz'd in the Arrow is limited. Don;t read this the wrong way, i'f your looking into DCA. The training is really good, but if you're not in it full time it can get mind numbing as far as using the checklist constantly(Arrow). Man I've been here almost two years and I still cant recognize a lot land marks for position calls in the plethora of traing areas here. Whoever's dumba$$ idea it was to start aviation academys in FL was an idiot! Good weather year round my a$$!
I've had a blast mostly and have met some great individuals who have moved on, who are still around, and those who I still see on a daily basis out their flying the line. I hope I can fish up my CSEL at DCA, but I hope to be out of here by the end of October.
