[QUOTE Was the F/E program you attended run by a Delta Pilot ? I have a recollection of such a school.[/QUOTE]

Flight International was owned by a Delta pilot, and did Boeing 727 flight engineer licenses for $3750.
It’s funny how you can remember what something cost when it was hard earned money.
Like the $3450 Citation type rating, and the $4050 CFI/II/ME.
They then went on to do missile towing out of Norfolk with Lear Jets.
He also owned Aerostar Airlines who operated Boeing 727s out of Hartsfield. Their head office was in the same building as Flight International at PDK.
As I understand it, he was told by Delta that he had to chose between working for Aerostar or Delta, as they were competing in the same market.
Other than Aerostar went out of business I do not know what happened, as I left the area.
Having heard some freight dogs howling in the night, as Willow Run and Corrosion Corner we’re calling me.
I now had a flight engineer ticket, and I was going to use it.
