    I was wondering the same thing. And does 'walking through another door' mean a different instructor? A different company? Or a different career altogether?

    Yep. I was assuming the same thing, but I don't like making general assumptions. It would be nice to know the real story. In any case I wish GR the best in whatever he decides.

    Sorry guys, I have been busy getting my affairs in order and have other priorities.

    In a nutshell, before I took the trip to Prime I was in Aviation school to be a pilot. Unfortunately some money that I was expecting didn't come through in time and I ran out of funding. I had to go to plan B which was trucking. A week into my training while I was waiting to be picked up by a new instructor, those funds came in. So, I made a decision to go back to flying which is where my passion really is.
    I tried the trucking route, and to be honest I think if my experience wasn't so bad like it was with my first instructor I might have stuck it out. But I think the bad experience I had made my decision that much easier.
    No hard feelings against Prime. I think Prime is a TOP NOTCH company! Anybody starting out in Prime should count themselves VERY fortunate, you could have picked MUCH, MUCH worse!

    I wish you all the best. Keep the shiny side up and maybe I'll catch you on the radio if you're passing by Oxnard! I have my CB mounted in my Jeep now and will be able to catch some of you passing through Calif...


    Cheers....

    good luck , and god speed, your gonna find the difference in flying and driving a truck to be very little , cept you can turn on the auto pilot and you have to make smoother landings in a plane. Taking off is about the same.... And if your lucky you got a stew who is not hard on the eyes to bring you coffee all the time lol be safe keep us posted...
