is everyone looking for FAR-rule bending shortcuts that screw over pilots who should be paid. Instead of wasting time trying to find loopholes, perhaps that time could be used to gain experience towards a COMMERCIAL license.

Why don't you post this under one of the other posts that are related to this? I agree with you do. As I hear too often, *THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS*
 
right on. and i don't think law-bending goes well with a potential professional pilot career.
 
I'm with you on looking for loopholes... I just wish the FAA would try a little harder to close those loopholes and make the FAR's not so damn vague.

I was thinking about this for a little. "Ran is in the past so runned seemed logic. Thanks for the dictionary!

the correct english would be: "imagine if the faa WERE privately RUN."

Which we were taught in 2nd maybe 3rd grade.

But the FAA is only one organization not two. Isn't "were" for plural? How about "What if the FAA was privately operated"?
 
it is the subjunctive tense. having learned a foreign language helps because their verbe tenses are not exactly the same like in english. even in the example you gave, the verb should be "were."

I'm with Montanapilot man...if people spent as much time flying and looking up realistic regulations rather than trying to find loopholes, ESPECIALLY for Cross Country time, I think the aviation community would be a much more sane place...

You don't think the FAA knows about the loop holes? Of course they do! They must think that the "loopholes" are not a safety issue, otherwise they would revise the FARs. In order to find the loopholes you must first know the rules and read them as well. Either way, you learn the rules.

A shortcut is not always a bad thing. Where I work people get cash awards for finding shortcuts - and I work for a government agency as well.

I hear you I just replied to a thread that I would never get involved in because Im so new to this. But it kind of bothers me to see people act like that.
 
...but shortcuts that screw over pilots who should be paid is not a shortcut and should not be allowed. I wonder if a PFT guy can be held responsible if (s)he does something wrong. Most likely not. I can see it know:

"Hey, I'm just paying to be here! Just like the paxes in the back. Hold the CPT responsible for landing gear up. Not me! I want my daddy!"
