I'm not sure if it's me or if it happens to everyone, but whenever I'm close to completing something inevitably there's always something that gets in the way. It happened with my degree at Snow College, it happened with my degree at BYU, it happened with my Airman Medical Certificate, it happened with my Private Pilot Certificate, (I managed to complete my Instrument rating without any hiccups, HOORAY) and now it's happening with my Commercial Pilot Certificate.
The silver lining is that I'm getting to the silver lining. After passing through the middle of a towering cumulus it finally seems to be getting to the dissipation stage. And I'm coming to the silver lining which is, I am finally ready to schedule and complete my Commercial Pilot Multi-Engine certificate. I've completed my required hours, passed the knowledge test and completed and end of course review with the chief pilot.
I have a few ideas about where to start as a pilot, but I sure as heck won't turn down any information or suggestions or contacts from anyone who knows someone who could help me. I'll take pretty much anything I can get at the moment.
Michelle and I would like to stay in Utah (wouldn't anyone?) I'm looking for something with a charter company, or small cargo operator, or (cross my fingers) a corporate position. The corporate thing is a far off wish because you have to know a corporate pilot to be a corporate pilot. AND you have to be type rated in the plane you're going to fly. In Provo, there are mostly Citations, but there is a Gulfstream as well. I know that there are a lot of schools around the country that will train you and get you your type rating in certain aircraft. The Boeing 737 seems to be the most popular.
Anyway, I didn't mean to get off on such a long tangent. The point of this post is A) to make sure all three of you who read this blog know that I haven't forgotten about it B) to update you three readers on my current flight training status C) to moan and groan about my situation just enough to help me realize how fortunate I am to have gotten this far and D) to keep up my chops on the computer keyboard. It seems that since I left school I have rarely found myself at the keyboard typing. I need to keep up those skills in case I get hired on as a telemarketer or if I'm really lucky a grocery store cashier... you get the idea.
My babbling is over now. Please enjoy the photos I've attached to this post. They are of some flippin' sweet aircraft that I hope to fly someday.
