Dear friend,
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Bill Gamelson, and I had a promising life ahead of me. I grew up with the nicest mom and dad I could have ever had. I stayed in school and when I graduated I wanted to become an airline pilot. I began the quest for my goal by getting my private license, then my commerical license and instrument rating. I topped that off with a multi-engine rating. I then had only an Airline Transport Pilot rating needed to begin applying for a job as an airline pilot. I then discovered that the airlines seem to have a "liking" for ex-military pilots and I had a slim chance of getting hired on unless I had a military background. I then decided to get my Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic's certificate and begin a career working in a shop repairing airplanes. My dad was financing my training. My dream was interupted when my dad died in 1993. He was rather rich, but all the money from the estate went to support my mom until she died in 2001. Now with my mom's lavish lifestyle there is not that much money left and to top that off the estate is fighting the IRS because they want a ridiculous portion. It started out at 55%, but now they have "re-apparised" the estate and claim that it's worth much more then it is and now they want so much that almost none will be left for me, my borther and sister. We are fighting them tooth and toenail, but with the the attorney fees the estate will no doubt be all but eaten up when it's all said and done. I now work at an industrial warehouse and am living paycheck to paycheck. I was hoping that some enheritance would come in and I could go to A&P (Airframe and Powerplant) Mechanic's school and get a real job, enough to support a wife and kid, but it is now doubtful that will ever happen. I am humbly asking if you could donate $5.00 or $10.00 towards my schooling. Anything you could afford would be much appreciated. I am not making this story up. I just don't want to work for $8.00/hr the rest of my life, and a good job is tough to get these days I have a PayPal account, and I am asking that you please donate what you can afford to via PayPal. If I can get enough donations to finish trade school, I can make my dream come true. Thank you, and God Bless. www.paypal.com donate to: Checks or money orders accepted at: Bill Gamelson PO box 12802 Wichita KS 67277 Again, Thank you, and God Bless. |

Says here...
http://makeashorterlink.com/?G55122F38 ....that you're a commercial pilot that enjoys "Flying, Skydiving, Scuba diving, Ham radio". Find cheaper hobbies and you might be able to afford A&P school.

... Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Bill Gamelson, and I had a promising life ahead of me. I grew up with the nicest mom and dad I could have ever had. Apparently they weren't that nice. Your dad didn't leave you any money, and your mom squandered it all. And apparently they taught you nothing about proper management of your own finances. Not that I actually believe a word of what you wrote. Your claim that the airlines "seem to have a 'liking' for ex-military pilots" is utter B.S. Most commercial pilots are NOT from the military. Get a clue, a life, and a job. And keep your "make money fast" schemes out of our newsgroup. Pete |

Dad died in 93, so now you're only making $8.00 per hour.
You musn't me a very good employee if you are only making that after ten years. I'll tell you what I'm gonna do: I'll go buy a six-pack with the $10 that you want. At least it will be appreciated.

Your claim that the airlines "seem to have a 'liking' for ex-military pilots" is utter B.S. Most commercial pilots are NOT from the military. Maybe true about "commercial" pilots but ex-military accounts for about 70% of airline jobs. -- Jim Fisher |

By "BS" I suppose you mean Brilliant Statistic, right? http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=3427 Which arguably states, with some authority, somewhere between 60% and 80%. -- Jim Fisher |

I was going to look for other rebuttal data, but your so-called reference specifically says that current hiring is running at about 60% *CIVILIAN* hires for the airlines. That's rebuttal enough for me. |
