New yob

Well five months has past since my last post, so I figured it is time to make a new one. I have been with skywest airlines for about 1.5 years and I had a hard time saying goodbye to my work family. I hated the job sometimes, but everyone else did to so that is what made working for this company so much fun. My last day at Skywest I will never forget, I was supposed to be off at 430 hang out with my friend Evie afterwards and head up to Donna house. Donna was supposed to introduced me to this new girl, which I still managed to be good friends with her till this date. But all of that went out the window, we had a late flight from IDA that never made it so SLC cause SLC was having the worst winter weather imaginable. So I didn’t get off till like 930 at night. So I decided to hang out with Evie since it was late at night, sucks saying goodbye to your best friend that you spent almost everyday with for the last two years and all of sudden you go months without seeing her. But anyways the next day was the toughest part saying goodbye to my parents, pets, and grandparents. Next thing I know I was heading for the great state of California, but I had to make a pit stop in Corvallis, Oregon to visit my sister and get some rest cause there is no way I can drive 12 hours in my small Eclipse. I love my car to death, but it wasn’t made for long drives. But after spending the night at my sister apartment I headed out for the last 6 hours of my trip and it was the worst. Thanks goodness for my friend Ann (girl donna introduced) she texted me a lot so I didn’t feel quite so alone, but it still sucked at one point, “I am a Barbie girl” came on and I had my hands swaying outside the car and I was rocking back and forth, while I was doing 65 down the highways( I know Oregon sucks 65 mph WTH?) But it was beautiful seeing mt Shasta. I remember seeing it when I came down in Nov when I did my interview and it is so pretty, basically feels like I am living in Seattle, but the weather was a lot more warmer and nicer. I arrived at the oxford suite where my company put me up until I passed my flight test, which took a month. Sucked living in a hotel for a month, but what the heck having someone clean up after me it was awesome. What was better they offered two free drinks a night, sucked cause I am a hard “A” guy but they only served beer and wine. For the next four weeks I alternated between ground lessons and flight lessons and finally in early January I passed my flight test and now I am a flight instructor for Iasco. So I was assigned four students and the weather was beautiful in January but end part of feb and march it sucked so bad it rained like everyday. I had to fly home cause I was going crazy here and it was really bad it rained two weeks straight. So I got the chance to come home for my birthday and spend it with friends and family, so I had a great time. So here I am now towards the end of April. I’ve been selected to start the instrument program, which is nice since I am only a CFI, I don’t have my CFII, which allows me to teach instrument flight. So with this I will be busy till august, until the next batch of students from china arrives. I have 750 hours and if I go decide to go through this instrument course I will be on lock down for the next 6 months. Which won’t be to bad because once I get 1,000 hours I will be a salary employee making a whopping 35k a year, which is amazing never made over 20 grand a year, so I am stoked about that. So stay tuned.
