jets, right?

When I applied to AOPA, they had a policy that you had to have soloed before
joining. They allowed certain exceptions to that rule at the time, and they may
not have the rule anymore, but, on the other hand, it's possible that Steve
cannot join yet.

I just reviewed part 61, and I think all he'd need is a 3rd class. The classes
are basically based on the type of flying you do, not the aircraft you fly. Yes,
if Steve wanted a job as an ATP, he'd need a 1st class; otherwise, no.
