I got an interesting offer today and while my first instinct is to say "Hell Yes", I'm not sure if it will be that great of an idea.
I was hanging around the breakroom today when our Union President came in. We got to talking about our ongoing contract negotaions and eventually the topic turned to flight training. I told him that I checked out some FBOs in the area and had not found the right one yet and that I was still driving back to Hartford once a week to take lessons that were not really going anywhere. He then offered to become my CFI (at least though my PVT) and I would only have to pay for fuel (he owns a 172). He's a pretty good pilot,ex-ACA/flyI and I was with him during "revenue week"(our version of IOE), and we had a good time and he is a patient teacher. The only down side of this is that if this deal goes south then I might find myself getting screwed at work because he is our "el Presidente". I don't think he's that type,but you never know.
So what would you guys do?
