My Son Wants To Fly

MSHUNTER was saying an airplane engine is 3X the cost of a car engine, not 3X the cost of an airplane. Be wary of a "Fresh" over haul especially if it is not a reputable shop.



Many older airplanes have been updated at least once. Older panels often look like a hybrid between the Wright flyer and an F-22. Meaning there is a mix of very old and very new avionics.



There are plenty of CFI jobs at the moment. I don't remember reading where you are located but unless it is someplace like Jost Van Dyke he won't have a problem finding CFI work. I frequently get asked if I want to instruct and I am pitifully out of recency. This could change overnight but at the moment things are good. A simulator is a benefit (time and cost) during instrument training. But you can go from 0 hours to CFI never having used one. Many people self study for the ground school but his CFI would (should) still do some ground with every flight lesson.

Thank you I appreciate all that information. I am in the suburbs of Chicago. We are close to Dupage airport and not too far from Aurora airport.

A fix it email means something is amiss in your application. I did not put down my High School GPA so yes, I'm not qualified to fly for them. I have an Undergrad, Graduate degree, 20 years of Navy flying and it looks like I don't qualify, no HS GPA after all :)

Haha yea well that figures. Nothing is personable anymore. The computers act like computers and the people act like computers as well. They obviously need to improve their human resources department.
