Some PRF-related wisdom from the inbox You Are Not BTZ.pdf

This apparently wasn't a new practice. I remember when a civil LOGAIR C-130 (L-382) crashed on a night takeoff from SKF in October 1986. Crashed onto the parking ramp and into two of the flightline hangars, killing all 3 crew aboard. Nearly exact scenario 29 years ago as this one here, only a different method of securing the yoke back for loading/unloading. Goes to show, we don't really find new ways to have accidents. Detatiled here in fact: https://libraryonline.erau.edu/online-full-text/ntsb/aircraft-accident-reports/AAR87-04.pdf

Absolutely. Do NOT let someone trying to hit their numbers guilt you into a life changing decision. If it's allowed to just apply for pilot, find a recruiter who will "allow" you to do that.

What a douche canoe. Find another recruiter, as this one is obviously only looking out for herself and doesn't care at all about anyone else.

Most definitely. I'd been living in San Antonio at the time of that accident and remember it being big news, and a little later when I got into aviation, studied the NTSB report. Hadn't put any thought into it until the findings of this accident came out, and immediately reminded me of the details of the Southern Air Transport accident. Eerie the similarities, yet weird that this accident.....albeit being a civil Herk accident......wouldn't have been one that would've made it into some kind of "Road to Wings"-type of compilation of Herk accidents that may have been covered at Herk RTU or something. Sadly, SAT lost another Herk 2 years later during a landing accident at SUU, killing all 5 onboard the training flight.

Holy f@cking quibbling! Shut that shit up dude, no one cares about the details of why you can't do well in easy classes. Figure it out and do better. Honestly, if you can't apply yourself enough to get a 3.0 in an easy college program, you're either too dumb or too lazy for pilot training. I'm no genius but I graduated with honors with a Mechanical Engineering degree because I worked my ass of when I had to. I also drank every weekend with the bros. Figure it out.
