Horse... Water... why won't he...

[Ian_J]

I've got this friend back in Rochester named George who I am sort of "mentoring." (I know, blind leading the blind - scary!) He's a low-time CFII trying to figure out what to do with his budding aviation career.

I've been trying to get him on JC forever, and he finally registered. I think he's just waiting on Doug to activate his account so he can post a new member announcement. I think his user name will be Geeorge.

I told him about NJC, and let him know it would be in his best interest to go. He wants to go, but unfortunately he can't afford plane tickets and a hotel room.

So in advance of his first post, I'll ask for him:

1) If anyone can spare a buddy pass for him, he'd greatly appreciate it.

2) If anyone can spare a hotel floor - that would be a tremendous help, too.

He's a great guy and I personally vouch for him. His career really needs a jumpstart, and that's what JC is all about.

And as soon as he gets on here - he knows to register and pay for the event.

where's he coming from?

he doesn't have to wait to register for NJC....Come tomorrow the price goes up to $40. BUT i would make sure he has transportation and a place to stay first.

He's coming from Rochester, NY.

And hopefully he can get it all figured out by tonight!

can he afford a buddy pass?

DAL is $89/one way...loads don't look too bad going thru ATL or CVG

Checking... and thanks.

Any idea on his JC account status?

 

[Kristie]

doug usually takes care of that stuff but i approved your buddy (since you vouch for him).

Thanks Kristie!

Uh... disregard.

My thread title proved prophetic. Thanks for the help, though.
