    How To Get a Job at an FBO

    So far, I wouldn't say no luck but no guarantee is the better word. I've talked to three of the FBOs. One did take my resume. He told me at the moment he wasn't hiring but he has a few of his workers graduating from college in may and likely a few jobs would open up. He did say no guarantee as...

    Is there anyway to visually distinguish a Cessna 172 and 182?

    Any little differences are good.

    Is there anyway to visually distinguish a Cessna 172 and 182?

    So basically the Cessna 172 looks like it could kick your @ss and the 182 and the Cessna 182 will come over and do it! (excuse my french but it's how my old Boss compared the 98-02 Camaro and Trans Am. For the record, the Trans Am was the one that would come over and do it).

    That is exactly the type of tell I am looking for! Thank you for the side by side comparison pictures.

    Is there anyway to visually distinguish a Cessna 172 and 182?

    For me it's usually the side marker lights on the front of the car. They became a Government mandate in 1968. I can tell most Thirdgen's apart too. Telling 88 from 89 is the hardest though. A 1986 Camaro is the easiest, it has a light on the rear hatch.

    Is there anyway to visually distinguish a Cessna 172 and 182?

    Or do they both look identical on the outside and simply have different engines and instrument panels? I found this article but the author simply lists technical specs only, http://pilotian.com/cessna-172-vs-182/. Lots of people think a 1967 Camaro and a 1968 Camaro are exactly the same but I...

    It relates to my user name. Mark Messier is known as the Messiah to Rangers fans. Partly a pun on his name and partly because he lead the Rangers to win the 1994 Stanley Cup. Their first cup since 1940! Check this out

    How To Get a Job at an FBO

    Your son goes to a great school! Hopefully this is a sign the school systems are changing for the younger generations. I wish I knew all that stuff at 11, hell I wish I knew it at 18! I was never poor growing up but my parents did make a ton of money mistakes. It wasn't until I was 20-21 that...

    How To Get a Job at an FBO

    I had the same problem before I got my oil changing job. 99% of all automotive shops only want full time techs, other than changing oil working in the auto industry is tough to do part time. Cars need to be fixed and customers need their cars back ASAP. If you are only showing up 20 hours a...

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    It's good to see plenty of other students are making progress. I am a beginner (maybe 3 flight hours through CAP O-Flights), as soon as I get a new job I am looking forward to getting in the air.

    How To Get a Job at an FBO

    I will go in and try again. I remember in 2012 the economy was still terrible. It's 2017 now and some recovery has happened so perhaps the aviation industry is hiring again. After class tomorrow morning I am going to try again.

    How To Get a Job at an FBO

    This is what I have done in the past, except I can't get passed step 5. I've gotten my lawncare and oil changing job this way but I'm guessing it's simply a matter of economics. Maybe the aviation industry doesn't have much demand right now. Also I don't blame you about public schools. I don't...

    How To Get a Job at an FBO

    Well you know, after playing in the NHL for 24 seasons I felt like a career change. Hey Marty McSorley flew for the US Marshals so why not right?

    How To Get a Job at an FBO

    I apologize if I was suppose to make an introduction before starting a thread, I couldn't find any place too. I also apologize if this is the wrong forum for this thread. I wasn't sure were it goes. How does one get a job at an FBO? There are plenty of threads of the internet (a couple on this...
