I just would like to announce that it is official. I have been accepted to the professional pilot program at Kansas State University in Salina Kansas. I am going to college to be a professional pilot. What better job could you ask for. I will get to fly all over the United States in college and after I get my Instrument rating they will pay me to to fly. I start next fall on the four year program. But since I am working on getting my private license right now it will only take me three and a half years.

Congrats :D
-
Yay, have a great time flying.
Please don't Crash!!!
-
I plan to. Have a great time that is. Not crash. :lol:
-
We will see. :lol:
-
Congrats! I'm sure being happy is an understatement? :D

Commercial Pilot.
-

Commercial Pilot.
Which airline? :wink:
-
I second that :)
-
I would like to fly for United Airlines. But Kansas State University has a good relationship with American Airlines and American Eagle so that is probably where I will end up. Either way I will be happy.
-
United pays better fromwhat I heard. :)
Plus there an awsome airline :P

Trust me...NWA is the best. On United, most of your flights get canceled when you go out of large cities :roll:

I have to agree, and I love United Airlines.
And I've never really had any serious problems with United. The only time I ever had a bad delay was because of Hurricane Katrina that hit New Orleans. I was at Denver and the plane was there but the flight crew was stuck at New Orleans.
-
NWA is not the best. I dont like them
-
I wonder who Vamerica thinks is the best??????????? :lol:
-
I would say Air Kiwi!!!!!!!
-
He will say United, Air New Zealand, or Air Kiwi :D
-
Really I would have thought he would say Virgin America
-
yep. Also don't forget Virgin America
-
But hes never flown on Virgin America :shock:
-
But he obviously likes them.
-
I might on my trip to the penn. state
-
Well, if you do you will have to tell us how it was.
Honestly the best airline I have ever been on was Midwest Airlines on there 717's
-
I will.
I want to fly Singapore's sky beds on the A380

A. I live out of Minneapolis/St Paul basically, so i have come to figure out that NWA really isn't that bad.
B. United is terrible :evil: . Let me recount my favorite United story. We went on a field trip from MSP to DCA. Half of us flew through Detroit on NWA on the way there, the other half flew through ORD on United (I was in the Northwest half). Their flight to ORD was delayed 6 hours, and they barely made another connecting flight So while the NWA arrived on time at 11 AM, the others arrived at 6 PM :shock: . But that's not all. On the way back, the NWA people had a direct flight, but the United people still had to connect in Chicago. Their flight there got delayed, and once they finally got there, the planes were so late they were considering taking a train or coach bus. But they made it, and instead of getting back at 11 PM as planned, they got back at 3 AM. (the worst part for us northwest people was that the United people got the school day off the next day :evil: :evil: :evil: )
So if you want to go for the worse airline (which would be fun to see), work for United. :twisted:
-
Oh yes that would be swell.
-
To the Singapore not the NWA UNA thing.
-
What train? Amtrak
-
i don't know and i don't care
all i care about is that it was the M-Z half of the alphabet on that plane instead of me :twisted:
-
I want to fly Virgin Atlantic now when they get there A380's. http://www.airliners.net/discussions/general_aviation/read.main/3757769/

Its actually a common fact that NW has some of the worst serrivce in genral when compared to the rest of the industry (not like United is much better).
The Chicago, you've obviously not been SFO, DEN, LAX, or (sometimes) Dullas.
Much better. I like SEA. Despite severe winter storms rolling through the region, we rarely get delays :P :lol:
-
Reno manly gets no delays
-
I think there was only 2 days when we had delays of 1 and 1/2 hours long in Seattle, due to weather (last year).
One day was when there was a massive storm with a recorded 5 minute sustained wind speed of 75 mph+
and a gust to 79 miles in seattle+like 2 inches of rain in 2 hours, which is a ton for Seattle in 2 hours.
(My friend had no power for 2 weeks, while I never lost power)
The other one was a snow storm. :)
-
were in minneapolis (think: snow :) ) and we never get delays :P
-
Wow, great news and a big congrats to you!
I wanted to become a pilot too, and had the grades for it, but 20 years ago it was a no no to have a bike on the nose and surgery to the eyes was dangerous.
Had it been today I would have coughed up the $3000 to correct my vision.
-
I had eye problems when I was a child but after 3 surgeries and 3 years of vision threapy I have corrected my vision flaws and now have perfect vision. They even told my parents I would never be able to be a pilot when I was a child.
-
So you have to have perfect vision to be a commercial pilot!!! :(
-
Trust me...NWA is the best. On United, most of your flights get canceled when you go out of large cities :roll:
Wait till Daniel (Dex/dktc/fake Daniel) gets a hold of you for saying that...
-
So you have to have perfect vision to be a commercial pilot!!! :(
No I was just saying I have perfect vision now.
-
But it is good to have perfect.
-
Yes, It probably does help.
-
Probably... United! :lol:
-
Well, if you do you will have to tell us how it was.

I guess they are nice. 2 free chocolate chip cookies, choice of meal [if you pay with credit card :roll: ] and able to get you to your destination on time :lol:
-
Plus they have nice big leather seats for everyone.
-
Midwest is nice..... To bad United isnt partners with them.... :)
So even though I have pretty bad vision without glasses, I could still be a commercial pilot? :?
-
i have ok vission without my glases. i can't see small things far away but i'm fine reading books and all sorts without my glases.
