PS ... While 1000 hrs in 10 years deserves a hearty "Huzzah!", would you
believe that when I was going through my training, there were two
20-somethings from Iceland who were flying 100 hours a *month* as part of
an Ab Initio program for Icelandic Air. They started about the same time
I did but racked up over 700+ hours in the time it took me to reach the 51
hours I had when I took my checkride. Must have worked because according
the one of the owners at the FBO, they're now both wearing three stripes
for their home airline.

Holy cats! I presume Icelandic Air was picking up the tab?
