    Question for you Playmaker. Are you approaching the end of your one year comitment. If so, has your overall experience with FFE convinced you to continue on with them or have you explored other opportunities?

    I ask, only because I am curious to see how i would feel after my year is up...

    Yes I am coming up on my year. I have enjoyed my experience as a trainee through solo driver on to becoming a trainer. Yes they have made me mad enough to chew nails but that will be with any company. Hick United airlines used to make mad to when I was a pilot for them. I have so many connections here at FFE from the head of training to 3 VPs to the COO, plus all the people at the school. Is FFE perfect NO!! But I am happy I went with them and NO I will not pursue something else. I love being a trainer, watching someone learn is rewarding. I look forward to a career here that I chose and have no regrets.

    Plus who is going to keep SPAT and TIGGER under control if I leave???

    what do you mean only a permit? as in a permit to drive a car? if it is the permit for your cdl but you have your regular license then you are more then fine. u would actually have to get your permit in texas though. and as far as training with one of us, playmaker is the only one of us three that is a trainer right now. spat will be soon and i will be in around 30-60 days depending on when i training class is. if one of us is free or will be free we can see with we can do .

    I'll totally have to keep this in mind.

    Do they work with you and let you ask questions? How are they otr, and how are they when it comes to one on one training?
