Re: Planespotting
Glad you have no rose tinted specs on :shades_smile: It isn't easy and right now there are few jobs in the industry but that'll eventually change. It is a cyclic industry. It's all in the timing....

Re: Planespotting
Hope you have plenty of $$$. Assuming you're talking of an FAA CPL (Commercial) you'll need an ATP for any Pt 121 passenger airline work now. Fortunately there's still a large amount of non passenger...

Re: Joining the Ranks of the Uninsured
I agree. It seems crazy that at your time of most need, you can't afford it because it's that or potentially go without food or shelter.
One possibility BGL. Do you or your hubby have a 401k? It...

Re: Margaret Thatcher has died.
That's exactly what it was. Maggie often referred to the "little old lady living in a big house by herself" She saw it as unfair she had to pay higher rates than a family of 4 living in a 3 bedroom...

Re: Margaret Thatcher has died.
Just compare her to Reagan. The parallels are quite similar. Both presided over deep recession (of its day) and high unemployment. Both refused to help out with government money, millions lost their...

Re: Buying a home in the US
Could be I suppose although South FL isn't as hard hit by sinkholes as Central-West FL. The ones here are generally smaller, slower to form and less frequent unlike say the Tampa area which tend to...

Re: Buying a home in the US
I'd echo that. I decided I needed to buy pretty quick here in South FL. The market has jumped so much many sellers have multiple offers. I got lucky and bought a nice place in a good area but I was...

Re: Router Help
I'd buy a cable modem over renting it. In the long run it works out cheaper. The Motarola's seem to be very good. Just check first with TWC to see if it's on their approved list.
