Anyone else read Mr. Collins' Checkride in the November 03 Flying?
I laughed out loud in the library while reading this today. Profiled is a 24 year-old, who has just started working. His comment:
"The biggest struggle for me is finding a balance between my budget as a young working person just starting out, not wanting to fly if I'm not sharp, and justifying the flying part of my life at all. It's hard when you dump $1,000 into 10 hours of training or less and then think to yourself, gee, I could have had three TVs or dined out for a few months or whatever. And from what I have heard, if I am ever lucky enough to explore the romantic side of life, it's not gonna be cheap."
True, true. Chicks are darned expensive... ha ha.
More seriously, it's true - my how expensive flying can be.
