the new beginning

I've sort of forgot all about this website I had to do a google search and after awhile I was able to find my blog. It seems like it has been awhile since my last posting. Yes, I am still working at my wonderful job. It is hard to believe that I am approaching one year and six months at Skywest Airlines. I guess you're wondering about my title "the new beginning?" Well a couple weeks ago I was browsing the internet cause lord knows I have no life. I came upon this job website, can't remember what it was, but they were advertising flight instructors wanted. So I thought to myself do I really want to go through this again? I mean Tulsa was an absolute failure, but then again I got flight hours out of it. So I figured why not? Better get flying hours than work in a baggage office where I don't do much all day. My company sent decided to sent me to Denver to become a GSC which is basically a person who laughs at passengers who try to smuggle illegal items through TSA. But any how, somehow I sparked an interest in IASCO flight school and they offered me a phone interview. Next thing I know I am chatting with the assistant flight instructor over the phone for about 40 minutes and she says she will email me the results. Right before I supposed to ship out for Denver I get an email asking me to come down to Redding CA to do an face to face interview with their board of flight instructors. Good thing I have travel benefits otherwise I would have been screwed. I fly down there and I brought my monkey suit with me and I was burning up. Even though I looked like a professional, I was burning up cause it was close to 80 degrees and sunny. The interview consisted of me telling them about my background and a lot of what would you do scenarios. Then came the teaching part, nothing better than teaching people who have a lot more teaching experience than you do. After this they went and did a group huddle, if I were to pass this part the next portion would be the flight. They came back after 15 minutes and were still interested, so we jumped into a C172 and went for a flight. I must say that Redding is one of the most beautiful places I've ever gotten the chance to fly. I had to teach the assistant flight instructor how to perform slow flight, after that we headed back to the airport. On the ground she said I did a wonderful job and expect a phone call soon. No less than 30 minutes after I left I get a phone call from her asking me if I still wanted the job. So here I am looking forward to getting back into the air and start racking up those flight hours.
