Pink,
Well let's see, where do I begin? Just kidding. Since I was 18, I worked a full time job and went to school at night. For 12 years I worked in the air conditioning industry, then one day I got this crazy idea I wanted to switch careers. Well what else would I choose? Flying of course. I was influenced by some family members who were in the airline business, and I was responsible for the air conditioning at Miami International Airport, and I had ramp access, 24 hours a day. So I hardly got any work done, watching all those cool planes.
So I called my Cousin, who is a captain at ACA, and asked his advice. He went with me on tours of 4 schools, and after weighing all the options I chose Pan Am. (He went to FSI) I started at Pan Am September 1, 2002 with 0 flight time. (I had flown in a C152 a couple times over the years) I am now a CFII, and will be up for MEI next week.
So as you can see from my life experience, I have a good work ethic, which I am sure helped me to do so well at Pan Am.
The Turk.
