Aviation!

My love for aviation started at a young age, I could never figure out what I wanted to do with my life but eventually all signs pointed toward aviation. Growing up I was surrounded by aviation both of my parents worked on the ramp for Delta Airlines, my Grandpa is a World War II P-47 ace and I always have spent plenty of time at the airport. Really the decision was a no-brainer, even then I still had plenty of guidance from my parents.

Currently I would say I have no real career plans other than getting paid to fly something, but ideally I would like to get a very cushy job flying some hot rod from where ever I am coming from to where ever I am going. I know that I am not going to get this job right away so to help myself get there I am planning to instruct for several years (Thank you congress for requiring first officers to have an ATP) and then take a job flying something that puts multi-engine turbine time into my logbook, that is about as far as my career plan goes.

The most important current topics that interest me are the changing of the part 121 first officer limitations and relating to that whether or not Eastern Michigan will be considered one of the accredited four year programs that allow for exceptions to the new minimums. I am also interested in the current change in the regional airline field, with Comair no longer in operation will anything like this happen to others?
