Hi Steve,
I love all your videos, and this is my story. After 911, we should all know that date, no one could get a job, unless you would work for free, no one help us at the time, and we all had to go do something else to survive. And if you would get a job, they would pay nothing, with a 63000$, in depts., with a commercial and and a multi-IFR, and you can't get a job. Most companies where asking 4000-5000 hours.
From the 200 the graduated that year, 7 made it as airline pilots.
Now Airlines are looking for pilots, and I'm going back in.
So this is my story, and I'm not alone, and I think it's a story that should be told, a pilot 20 years older then most of the kids out there going back. You can't buy life experience.
Thank you,
from Bernard
