“We have to pass the Bill to read what is inside it!”

What a great, great legislator.

That's, like, you know - how it actually works? The bill that gets passed isn't what actually happens. House passes something. Senate passes something else. To find out what you might get? First many times both of them have to pass something. Then it ends up in conference, where something different they both might ultimately pass is agreed to. Or sometimes they just pass the same bill (it does happen, but I don't believe so in that example).

You're stopping at CSEL? Not that it probably matters much at the moment.

No, just getting the hell out of where I am. For example, the Chief pilot for the school is ummmm... very hands-on. I attended mandatory (at his direction) prep classes for passing the ASEL written immediately after getting my IR ticket in October of last year. The classroom was right by his office. For that entire week of class, he would storm in the class, after hearing something the instructor said, or not liking what the instructor said. He would then proceed to take over the class and elaborate and over talk the instructor and go on tangents for an hour or two. We were all held hostage in the class and the instructor would never challenge his boss.

The Chief pilot wanted me to take the month-long commercial ground school, after my experience with the week-long test prep class, but more so that there was a time conflict with my job. I had to decline. Out of spite he benched me from flying and wouldn't allow me back to active flight status until after the holidays under the guise of me having to finish Jeppensen commercial online school and then take and pass the school's ground completion exam and then pass the FAA written. Failing to do that I would then have to take and complete the school's mandatory 30-day Commercial ground school. Do you see what he did there?

I took and passed my written in late December with a 93% (I think). Unfortunately for me, winter really starts in SLC in January. So it was snowstorm and icing after snowstorm. One system would move in and stick around for a few days. Then you'd have maybe one or two days of clear skies and good flying weather and then the next system would blow in. Rinse and repeat. I think that I flew maybe flew 5-10 hrs all of the month of January, February was no different, or better. I finally got back to flying 5 days a week again in mid to late March. If the f--ker hadn't benched me from Oct to basically January, I would have been done with my ASEL long before May when I finally finished.

So much more, like so much more I could share about this school, but it will have to be in person or over drinks in Vegas at NJC. I'm just happy to be done and leaving and don't want to subject myself further to this guy's power trip for 2-3 more ratings (CFI, CFII and AMEL). I've been looking around at schools back home in PHX and there are TONS of accelerated flight schools doing AMEL's in 3-5 days and for far cheaper than my current flight school.

What a nightmare.

I’ll get your CMEL Add-on done in 3-5 days and won’t charge for ground.

I’ve got zero going on and would gladly get my CFI back up to speed.

So if you do need extra ground or have questions: free ground via Zoom. Or I’ll at least do my best to answer questions.

Wub a lub dub! GARLIC BREAD!!!

Seems like every person has some sort of issue with their training or training timeline. It's like it's just part if this industry or something, it's rare to have training go flawless with no bumps in the road. It builds character!

Unfortunately not. Eastern NC. AA is usually quite cheap PHX-EWN. I also have plenty of local people who would split time if you want to do a day or two time building afterwards.

If you've got access to a multi, we may need to talk. The airplane is coming back outta the shop but my MEI doesn't want to teach right now...Eastern NC isn't that far from me.
