Kyle Rittenhouse is the George Santos of George Zimmermans

Kyle Rittenhouse now says he is going to be a pilot for Fedex. This shows his lack of education and maturity. you don't just decide to fly for Fedex. I am a retired 757 Captain. KR will have to have many years of training before he can even fly commercial much less at Fedex.

1. isn't the training expensive, too?

From what I hear, pilots are the jazz musicians of the transportation industry - they spend tons of time and money for training and maintenance of the skills - only to find themselves working gig-to-gig, often without steady income or a job with health insurance.
So yeah, I'm guessing by the time you get to jumbo jets, you take whatever gigs you can get.

4. I believe so

Which is why so many commercial pilots come from the military.

2. Perfect

3. Also, you can't get an Airline Transport Pilot certificate unless you are of "good moral character."

You need an ATP to fly for FedEx or any other commercial air carrier. It's a long, very expensive and demanding training regimen. And the "good moral character" requirement could be an issue for him, even though he was acquitted; pilots have lost their ATPs for less serious acts than killing people. Most airlines also require or at least prefer a college degree. Good luck meeting these requirements, Kyle: https://careers.fedex.com/pilot-minimum-qualifications

6. Or Military training.

Air Force Pilots are taken from the very best of those who apply. Those flying C-130's to the C-17s, are the very BEST of the Best.

Kyle is not thinking straight.

5. It took my husband years to accumulate a few thousand hours flying single engines

One starts out flying in Cessna 150's for a period of time with an instructor, learning the basics of aviation. It takes a long time to earn a Pilot's license, plus hours of tach time before going on to getting an Instrument Rating, a Commercial Pilot's license, etc. Learning to fly takes YEARS and a lot of money. My husband flew for 16 years before heart problems occurred that grounded him for good.

I doubt KR even knows what the Aviation Alphabet is. which is very important when communicating with the control towers. Let alone what VFR and IFR mean. Flying double or multi-engine planes takes even more training and hours to earn that rating. Plus, weather is the #1 enemy of even the BEST pilots flying today.

Big dreams, Kyle! You are not wired for that.

8. Unless you are a military pilot, you have to get most of your flight hours as a flight instructor,

which can be kind of fun except that the pay is terrible and sometimes your students try to kill you. But even getting the CFI certificate is a lot of time, expense and work, and the check ride is a tough one (been there, done that). Rittenhouse doesn't seem to have the sense or the discipline to do anything relating to aviation.

13. My husband was working on his CFI when the heart issues arose.

He wanted to teach flying as well.

I am grateful to all the trips we took when our kids were little. My husband belonged to, and was an officer in the local Flying Club down in Rochester. That is how we were able to afford to fly. The Club had 35 other members. There was a Cessna 150, a 172, and a 182.

Fun times.

7. I want to be a jet pilot...

[EYESORE 9001]

9. He needs to have a serious discussion with career counselor Jerry Seinfeld

And we thought Georgie Boy had grandiose fantasies about being an architect,

[Initech]

27. You know that I always wanted to pretend that I was an architect!

[EYESORE 9001]

28. A lofty goal indeed

Nothing is higher than architect

[packman]

10. O.K. - I give up following that -

IF I unwind it, they are all POS that are brothers under the skin. A liar, a killer, and another killer - trifecta of stupidity and racism.

[Kennah]

11. Anyone tell Kyle that in order to be a pilot, one has to parachute first.

Dry run without a chute first. Just to get the feel of it all.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

16. My husband would say this....

"A fool is someone willing to jump out of a perfectly good airplane."

He was kidding of course, yet serious at the same time.

[jmowreader]

25. Skydivers say...

“There’s no such thing as a perfectly good airplane.”

The United States Parachute Association is the governing body for recreational parachuting in the USA. Every year they publish a list of skydiving fatalities divided by cause of incident. Plane crashes are almost always the number one cause of dead skydivers.

[Beastly Boy]

12. Considering that George Santos is the Martin Shkreli of Pinocchios, and

George Zimmerman is the Ron Desantis of John Dillingers, that's saying a lot!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

19. I'm getting dizzy.

[txwhitedove]

21. Ha, me too. All this daily crazy makes my head spin.

[magicarpet]

14. Trying to put a patina of normalcy and respectability of his pathetic,...

... hyper alpha one macho male persona realizing his Rambo mindset bars entry to employment,.. any hopes of a meaningful relationships with a significant other,.. or dreams of a happy life in general.

That Rambo monster meathead instigator of murder got free from the unlocked barn. It is a bit late to lock the barn door now - and make believe song birds follow you where ever you go singing delightful melodies. Or that you are calm,... cool ,.. and collected every second of every day.

You are a murderous hot head. Marching around with your big gun. Instigating and looking for trouble - enabling you to act out your grandeur of Rambo madness - in the streets of a community you did not even belong.

Now he wants to portray himself as the misunderstood alter boy who only wishes to help decrepit old ladies cross a busy street on the way home after church on Sundays.

[txwhitedove]

22. Wow, well put, lyrically.

[keithbvadu2]

15. How's nursing school, Kyle?

How's nursing school, Kyle?

[Ilsa]

17. Will he join the AF or Navy to learn to fly?

Does he even have a college degree to get into AOCS?

[IronLionZion]

18. Training is just a way for Deep State Liberals to keep him from flying for FedEx

Losers can waste their time on training. Winners don't have time for training. Winners buy a gun illegally, cross state lines, look for people they don't like, and start shooting.

[ThoughtCriminal]

20. But he has 90+ hours on Flight Sim!

All that "Call of Duty" paid off, so why not?

[NCjack]

23. The only jobs that I see for him are gunsmith and hit man.

In those jobs, he will not meet the public and can carry his comfort AR-15, just in case he has to protect some property or shoot someone the thinks are a threat to him.

[Aviation Pro]

24. I can dream that he shows up at one of my FBOs

Hilarity will ensue as this laugh riot beclowns himself.

[jmowreader]

26. Yeah, I can just imagine his first day of PPL training

“Mr. Rittenhouse, please leave. You already killed two people, and none of our CFIs want to be the third.”

[BWdem4life]

29. As long as he crashes on a deserted island, I'm all for it. nt
