Awesome episode! Thanks for providing such needed advice

[@jay-rus4437]

My first flight instructor is a check ride captain on the a320 out of DEN. She seems happy to be there, and has been for well over 20 years

[@Ready4Pushback]

I love it!

[@mattboggs7045]

Great confidence booster! I'm quitting my job in 3 weeks and moving my family to Florida so I can train....I can't get the loans so I'm just going to work my way through it might take me a little longer but I'll get it done! If you don't take big chances you'll never get the big rewards

[@Ready4Pushback]

Step by step. Be diligent in your efforts

I had a student in the B767 Sim, a New hire FO. He said he came from Frontier , A3230 FO. I asked : why did you leave? He said the place totally sucked. I'm just saying.
