OMG! going south.....

if you used the lavatory on the jet, PLEASE tip the service guys at the airport (i do that here in FL), hawkers are the WORST to do the lav service on.

i also heard mention of a Citation X (ten) on this thread... heck yes! i fueled one of those this afternoon. 800 gallons is a LOT of jet fuel!

i will say, private jets are the way to go. one day, i will fly them - i REFUSE to work for a living!

Mike,

Were you near the ERAU planes that were damaged/destroyed last week in the storm? Hear it was bad...

Work hard and you will get there. My first job at an airport was mowing the grass. Been in the left seat for over 25 years now and the view is great. Yes, its not working for a living as they pay me to do something I would do for free!

[ERAU944]

shhh dont say that too loud!

nope, i've been out of school for over a year. i saw pictures of the devastation seminoles and 172's all balled up all over the place.

i can't imagine what the flight costs and scheduling will be like now. it was horrendous when i left the flight program in '02.

Mike,

PanAm moved their entire fleet of training aircraft to DVT two years ago, just two miles West of where I live. After this and what PA did, would guess that ERAU will move most if not all of the fleet to Prescott.

Just too expensive to keep the planes in Florida with the summer and winter storms that they experience. Its one thing to fly a Challenger, Hawker or Learjet out of an airport before a storm, but flying 50 single and twin trainers is a different story.

aye, the did spend a ton putting instructors and their significant others up in hotels and bussing them to and fro during the hurricanes a couple years back.

is the schooling at 'riddle' good? yes. the politics, runaround, and financial management... not so good.

they have put a bunch of money into the campus down here, i don't think they are planning on moving much of anything to prescott. maybe they should!

maybe they figured 'why bother' moving them... shortly after i graduated in '05, there was a hailstorm that 'modified' most of the planes there. i had to chuckle whenever i'd see one of them at the last aiport where i worked, the pilots would always claim 'she's a few knots faster' with all the dimples in the skin... oh brother!

ERAU is ok if you want to spend 4 years getting all your degrees AND aviation training. For me they took too long. I used to instruct for them overseas and they are a descent school, just depends on what you are looking for.

Well, if they keep the majority of their fleet in Florida and it keeps getting bent up every year eventually their insurance cost will force them to do something.

on-ramp is correct.

wives is plural. wife's is possesive.
