skyteam-

Heard that there have been some major bumps in the road for the self sponsered type rating pilots. Those guys completed the type training and then were unable to do any flying at all due to the government. I don't know the exact problem but maybe another ppruner may be able to shed some light. All is still in limbo from what I hear and they are going on 4 to 6 months without flying the real bird at all!! My heart goes out to them-spend all that money and then get NOTHING that was promised. I think it is total I have some friends in that group. I hope it works out for them.

My guess is that you might be already type rated with experience and AA is bringing you in to fill the void caused by this governmental snafoo. Be careful and don't end up like my buddies with no money.
