Introduction

Hi, my name is Evan, I am a CFI at Eagle Flight Centre.  I became fascinated in aviation when I was a kid and have been working in the aviation industry since 2006 when I joined the Marine Corps.  While serving in the Marine Corps I was a crew chief/mechanic on UH-1 Hueys and AH-1 Cobras.  I accumulated over 1,000 hours on the Huey during my time and wanted to convert my knowledge to the civilian world as a pilot.  I have been in the flight program at Eastern Michigan since march of 2015 and will be graduating in December.  I finished my CFI certificate in July and have been working at the flight school as an instructor since then.  My plan is to finish acquiring the hours necessary for my ATP certificate and work at the airlines until I have the experience required to be competitive for a job at FedEx.

The only topic that I can think of that I would like to hear about is how the pilots have chosen their company that they work for.  The regional decision is a big decision and every company is different.  Any advice on company selection will be of great help.
