BLARGH!!!! Why can't you folks be in north texas!?!?! :)

Yeah it was at 4.58 at kgyi but forget the fuel the area 51 burgers are where its at :goofy: Shame they closed :(

This is just getting to be soo awesome! :goofy:

I'm thinking of trying to talk to my local FBO to see if he might have some part time work that I could help with in order to secure a little extra money and hopefully a little flight time. Although I love that offer as well, something about that title would have me stammering over my words when...

Also, what sort of jobs might an FBO have available and around how much would those jobs usually pay?

Yeah absolutely!

That would be awesome. One of my ex's lived in Denton and I used to spend a lot of time down there so I may just have to accept probably won't be until after taxes though.

Nope, most of these are the same requirements to being armed security, only thing I'm worried about is my parents health record my father was a bad diabetic and I don't know if that will affect me any. I have no history of any glucose problems though I've been tested for that all my life.

If your offering me a job then I'm sold, (unless it's damn cold) but I don't know anyway around the exp reqs, it was a nightmare just for me to get on with splatterson.

I know that they run one of those pipeline programs for American eagle, I don't know what the success rate of it is though, they claim 97%. Basically aside from the discovery flight I'm looking for a way to just overall get myself in the air, as quickly and as (dare I say) cheaply as possible...

Yeah it is in Denton but they have a branch here in Sherman, where I live.

The problem with offshore is they require a minimum 2 years exp to be considered and I don't have that much time in think 6 months which is still considered worm in the oilfield and won't even land you a job with the big companies.

Well ND was my option when I got laid-off and I have some friends up there right now and well uhh no thanks to -40 degree weather I'll stick to west texas deserts. If I would not have been laid off oilfield would be perfect for getting a pilots license I mean lots of money and 14 days working...

Holy crap! That's pretty intense. If you don't mind me asking where and how are you doing your ppl?

Thanks once again for the information. Another question, would financing through the flight school be more or less taking out a loan or is it another thing all together? A monthly payment seems like something doable for me since my pickup is now paid off.

Thanks for the advice Greg! Also I've read just about everywhere that a degree is pretty much required for any major airline commercial pilot, how true is this and why?

I currently live in North Texas in the Sherman area home airfield is KGYI my folks live in a very remote town about 3 hours from here and not anything close enough to consider, plus I'd have to quit my current job and leave myself more broke.

Thanks Fox-three, I'm sure my mother would be thrilled if I moved back home but if I did that I wouldn't be anywhere near a flight school. I feel like 50k would be a very worthwhile investment for something that I have dreamed of even if I had to take a loan for it. On the flip side is it...

Believe me I'm digging through couch cushions looking for the 79$ for that first discovery flight. When I was little I lived by a farm airport with mostly crop dusters and the guy that owned it would take me with him crop dusting some times and let me touch stuff. I've been hooked since, just...

Okay, so I'm 23, I've worked security and the oilfield for the past 5 years. My rigged got laid over and I got laid-off and went back into security. I don't like working security and I have been trying to decide what I want to do for the rest of my life. I'm almost certain I want to be a pilot...
