Heya List...
Well I've only been flight instructing for about 7 weeks here in Oregon, and
I actually got the call a few days ago - can't believe how quick that was!!
I've got an interview next tuesday 9am (CST) for a new-hire class first week
of December to fly the ERJ-145...Wish me luck everybody! I've been working
my tail off for the last four years for this!!

Way to go Andrew!
Making it a little more on topic....
Don't forget to keep flying Fox's. I've got 1/2 a
gazillian hours in heavy metal, but my V-1 cuts
improved greatly as soon as I started tailwheel Fox
flying. They make keeping sharp fun.
Just the other week we 2 (alone) were flying from
Brazil into the mountain country of Bogata Columbia in
a 767 when both FMC computers failed over the jungle.
Autopilot, autothrottles and navigation systems just
about gone. We were Fox flying at FL350. Add to it,
the controllers were in a tizzy because they had the
worst aviation accident in brazil history recently and
some controllers may go to jail. Those on duty were
rerouting us all over, and neither of us understand
Portugese. It was a very busy 6 hours.
yup, map and compass in a 767 over the Amazon....

Thanks Michel and Kurt - I appreciate all the help I can get 
and Kurt - that's a great story - It's good to hear of one heavy-iron driver
still keeping up his stick and rudder skills! I certainly intend to do the
same - I noticed a huge improvement in my flying GA after flying the 'Fox
around...I wouldn't trade it for the world!!
Thanks again,
Andrew

ALL RIGHT ANDREW!!!! I knew you were a better pilot than the meager wage you were getting for instructing. Good luck from Deb and me. I still have my searies V stuck in Snohomish, WA due to weather. Would love to have you build up a few more hours ferriing my plane up to AK all expenses paid and some cash in your pocket besides. Layne
