You mean I only need to pay them $75.00 an hour for such a great job! Where do I sign up!

I am slightly qualified-
85 hours ASEl certificated; A&P Certificated; Seen a tailwheel aircraft many times; can identify instruments; aerobatics consist of standard rate turns around a point, stalls, and landings; know several CFI & CFIIs; medical due; I am a bachelor; have AA, AS, and others; can add 2+2...

Am I Qualified, er what?

Can that wait about 6 months! Oh, and move to south Texas? Too bad. Sounds like a really nice deal.

After hearing about several friends of mine who lost their jobs recently, I salute these guys for offering a chance to "EMPLOY" someone who has a passion for flying warbirds in the economy we now have to endure ... I would suggest anyone here who has a job to give support. It's a great thing to see this offer to you guys who care about warbirds .... This is a vary rare thing in today's world ... take it seriously!!! ... and take it from someone who knows, If you have to move for a while to be employed, be grateful ....

A splendid opportunity for some lucky person, but I wonder why they insist on a bachelors degree?

Paper often sets the baseline pay for many jobs. HR typically come up with silly prereqs like that though. Also, if it's a learning institution, the instructor tends to have to have at least an equivalent education level to what they are teaching. I wish whoever goes for the job the best of luck. :)

Why a degree? Kind of like having to be an officer to be a pilot.....theoretically shows an ability to learn, stay with a program, blah, blah, blah.... :wink:

Looks like a great job for someone.

I was a commissioned pilot in the RAF (rather a long time ago, admittedly) and I can assure you that I never had a degree. Pilots then hardly ever did.

we have become a nation of WORDS not DEEDS. WWII brought out the very best (and worst) in man. words didnt matter as much because we DID things we were heros etc etc. then the scientists changed all the rules. What became important was the little letters after your name not the things you did heroic and otherwise.

I currently fit that category. If I wanted to stay debt free I had to choose between becoming a pilot or doing some other form of schooling. Flying won.
Can't say that I'm sorry about that right now. Still debt free while some of my buddies are rather precarious in this economy.
