[Porsche-O-Phile]

Commercial/Instrument/Multi/CFI/CFII/MEI. I've worked as an instructor back in the early 2000s and subsequently as a Part 135 cargo rat. Some damn fun flying and great stories to tell. My goal 10-or-so years ago was to get into the regionals but it's gone down the toilet and it became an awful grind post-9/11 to fight for a lousy F.O. slot making less than a guy at Taco Bell only to MAYBE get into the left seat in 10-or-so years. So I packed that aspiration up and went back to doing design work which is gratifying in its own way. It certainly pays better even if I'd much more enjoy flying.

Flying is like car racing - WAY better to do on someone else's dime than your own.
