Dont know if you already went and sorry for late reply, dont check this site as much as I should. Rented from a small outfit Xena Aviation in Sebastian, FL X26. They have a Warrior and are very easy to work with and nice people. Price extremely reasonable I think $100ish/hr DRY but still a good...

Yes, the suction cup mount is a complete piece of junk in my experience. RAM mounts are supposed to be good but my experience has been the exact opposite. Mine worked fine on a 2 day ~8 hr XC and after that was useless. It got to the point that it would not even stick to my bathroom mirror and...

Haha, such is the case with most any GA endeavor. I don't know how much you have read about flying GA around the Bahamas but that is exactly the point of the trip: to experience the "out islands" and the many smaller fields/islands in a relatively short trip. I know I could airline it to...

Any experiences? Suggestions? Looking for someplace to rent a reliable A/C for 3 or 4 nights from FL to the Bahamas and back. Ideally on the East Coast of FL but Id be willing to go wherever for the right situation. I have a call into Xena out of Sebastian, small operation, we'll see if I hear...

Interesting, I was just talking to a kid this morning who is finishing up commercial under the VA and the school lets him run up a bill each month and then submits to the VA monthly. The VA sends a statement to him monthly showing all hrs broken down by month and also pays the school each month...

ughh, Id be very leery of this type of arrangement where you pay first. I don't think that is in the spirit of what the VA intends. The VA pays *the school*! So what happens when you cut a check up front, the flight school goes belly up or runs into financial issues or whatever and they run off...

Nah, not really, I said I'm really not interested in comparing resumes and experience. I think we all know what this game is like or should. There is always gonna be someone "better" than you and if you think you are cool there is someone cooler.

Anyone else find alot of this? I hate to post a whiny rant about it but its happening almost every time I fly. I'm a part time CFII/MEI for one flight school and rent from a few others from time to time. The school I teach for knows me and does not give me any trouble but everywhere else I go...

Hit the nail on the head!!! Nobody with half a brain on here should be mentioning the words "pilot shortage". Shortage of pilots willing to work for peanuts, sure. Not surprised to see JetBlue doing this, they are I think the lowest paid of all majors. As a passenger I've been unimpressed as...
