Please join me in welcoming our newest check pilot Michael Natale. Michael has been with us for just over a year, has already reached the rank of Commander, and is a real world Pilot. Michael has completed our check pilot training, probably the most rigorous training we offer, and is already helping out in the check ride department.
Thanks Michael!

OMG will somebody please tell me that Mr. Gemelli is still grading the Euro checkrides! That's the only one I have left! LOL
Congrats and thanks for volunteering Michael! Make sure you get that virtual raise on your next check. Mr. Blakely is kind of slow in that regard.

I hate to tell you this Bert, but Greg hasn't graded a checkride in a long time, and these new guys are TOUGH! I would totally fail the retro checkride if I took it today. (what's a manifold????)

Congratulations on obtaining the Checkride examiner position. You were trained by Wayne and Rick, now can you see why he's so strict?
I'm just kidding guys, anyways thanks for stepping up and taking on this challenging job.
