We still need FSS
With the advent of super-FSS centers, your chances of stumbling across a
briefer with local knowledge of the airport(s) you are interested in is dwindling fast. True, but it *is* refreshing that Lock/Mart is hiring only Private Pilots (or better) to be briefers. Compared to the monotone bureaucrats we used to get on the phone, it's nice to speak with someone who actually walks the walk. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Cherokee Pilots Association talk, put on by Lock/Mart at the 2006 fly- in. Pretty close, but being an airman is not actually a requirement for becoming a flight service specialist: http://www.afss.com/field/?sp=20070306 Newly hired flight service specialists are required to have an aviation-related degree and/or aviation experience. Being a pilot is preferred, but is not necessary.
