p.s. I didnt' really sign it with my AT nick, you numbnuts 😉

It would be cool to work for them someday but the costs to even get qualified for that job are insane. $50k in training, plus a couple years working for a regional carrier at $10/hr 🙁

How many hours are you at? Are you multi-engine rated? Airlines typically see PIC Multi engine time as pure GOLD. I'm hoping to get my ME soon so i can build time in my friends Twin Comache.

multi-engine is just a step you have to take, the next step is to get your commercial pilots license then spent the next 3+ years as a flight instructor to get your hours built up befor even a small airline will even look at you.

Try this. At the National Transportation Safety Board website:

normally it takes months for incidents to show up on that website. since no damage was done to the A/C i doupt there was an FAA/NTSB investigation.
