So Eric and I are getting gas yesterday and there's a new kid driving the fuel truck.

I ask him if he's doing flight training, and he says he can't get a CFI.

He can't even get a shitty CFI, like this girl did:



Look at her ADS-B and tell me what happened.

Not changing the subject, low-time student pilots here are being told by their flight instructors that they aren't using the autopilot enough in their light trainers. Jesus, I'd like to kick their skinny, fireman moustached, Ray-Ban asses.

You can take away his money, you can try to put him in jail, you can try to keep him off the ballot, you can try to kill him - but he's our President. You can't stop him.

Maybe I have had a bit too much eggnog, but why can’t he get a CFI?

Autopilot for ab intro. It’s all about safety.

No CFI’s are available. Demand apparently exceeds supply.

Remember as soon as a CFI has 1500TT he is in the right seat of a 737 or 320. Southwest is a popular choice here. They just got a 50% pay raise IIRC
