About My Aviation
|
Flying first entered my life at age 6 when my uncle took me for a flight in his Beech F33A Bonanza. It wasn't until June of 2003 when I made my dream a reality
and began taking flying lessons in Tallahassee, Florida while attending Florida State. One year later I began attending Embry Riddle Aeronautical
University full time. Two years later, I graduated from Embry Riddle with a bachelors degree in Aeronautical Science. |

My Aviation Timeline - A Look Back
ASA Interview
I flew up to Atlanta for an interview with Atlantic Southeast Airlines. After 2 days of interviewing they were unsure of whether to offer me a job given that I have such low time. This morning, 9/26/07, I received a call from them stating that they will hire me as soon as I build 400 hours total time. I only need 30 hours in order to meet the requirement and will hopefully be able to complete it this weekend.Present
