INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To work for a major airline, you will typically need 3,000 hours total flight time including at least 1,500 hours multi-engine, and at least 1,000 hours as pilot in command of a turbine-powered aircraft. To gain that experience, you can start by working at a regional airline, which often requires only 1,500 hours of flight time. Many pilots start out at smaller airlines where they can gain experience flying on scheduled flights in a variety of weather conditions. Then, they use that experience to get higher paying jobs at bigger airlines. Some flight schools offer you flight hours in exchange for working as an instructor there. This is a very common route to earning the hours needed to fly for a major airline since it allows you to earn money and while building up your flight hours. Similarly, find a job as an instructor at a simulator company. Even if they cannot pay you a salary, see if you can trade your instructor hours for hours using the simulator and gaining experience to use in future job interviews. Safety pilots, for instance, keep an eye out while another pilot is wearing a view-limiting device that simulates low-visibility weather conditions. You can donate your time while also earning flight hours. Or, if you are in the U.S., you can work with the Civil Air Patrol (CAP)the official civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. It conducts search-and-rescue missions and educational flights for younger cadets using a feel of smaller aircraft. Some CAP flights require a private pilot's license at minimum, while others have more stringent requirements. Options include scenic flights, glider towing, aerial photography, towing banners, and pipeline patrol. These jobs may be hard to find when the market is bad for pilots, since other, more experienced pilots may be looking for work. These jobs can usually be found via word-of-mouth or contacting businesses in your area that you think might be hiring part-time pilots.

SUMMARY: Apply for jobs with regional airlines. Complete your certified flight instructor rating to work at a flight school. Volunteer as a pilot to gain experience while helping others. Find "low-time" pilot jobs in your community for additional hours.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Do this by placing the seedlings in a sheltered outdoor space, like a garden shed or covered outdoor area. Make sure they still get plenty of light. Hardening off the seedlings will help them get used to the outdoor climate before they're planted making the transition less jarring. Time it so that you work the soil right as the weather is warming up. It's best to work the soil after all chance of frost has passed, and the temperature is steadily climbing toward an average of 70 degrees. Choose a spot in full sun and loosen the soil with a garden rake and add organic compost. Make sure the soil drains well by soaking it with water. If the water puddles in the soil, you'll need to add extra compost and organic material. If the water soaks in immediately, it drains well enough for planting. If you are planting in a garden pot, it should be at least 8 inches diameter to accommodate the plants' growth. The holes should be large enough to accommodate the plants and their root balls, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep and wide. If you're planting multiple rows, make sure they're two feet apart. If the plants is in peat pots, you can remove the top portion of the pots and plant the rest of the peat pot in the ground with the plant. If the plants are in any other type of pot, you will need to turn the plant over to remove the plant and dirt from the pot before setting it in the hole. To help the dirt settle, pour some water in the holes with a watering can and pack more dirt around the plants if necessary. Try the sulfur trick: stick a few matches upside down alongside each plant in the soil. The sulfur from the matches helps pepper plants grow stronger.

SUMMARY: Harden off the seedlings ten days before planting them outside. Prepare the soil in your garden a week prior to planting. Dig holes 18 to 24 inches apart in the garden. Set the sweet pepper plants with into the holes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Unlike regular health insurance, long-term health insurance is designed to pay for long-term care, which may include nursing home care, in-home care or medical equipment. When evaluating long-term health insurance polices, you should carefully select a policy that covers nursing home care if you reasonably believe that you will not have someone to care for you at home should you fall ill and become unable to care for yourself. It is best to acquire long-term health insurance when you are younger and in good health. As you get older, long-term health insurance becomes much more expensive and many seniors are either unable to afford or qualify for a policy. Another way to pay for nursing home care is to cash in your whole life insurance policy. Certain policies allow policyholders to cash in their insurance policy for 50 to 75 percent of the face value of the policy. Keep in mind that this is only an option for whole life policies, not term life policies where there is no cash value. Depending on your individual life insurance policy, there are two ways that you can cash in your policy: accelerated benefit or life settlement. If you qualify for an accelerated benefit, the insurance company will pay between 60 and 80 percent of the face value of the policy. Under certain policies, you may have to be suffering from a terminal illness in order to qualify for an accelerated benefit. A life settlement is a policy payout that you negotiate with an outside company not the insurance company that issued the policy. These settlement companies look at the value of your policy, your age, and your health and pay you between 40 and 75 percent of the face value of the policy. Depending on the health and age of an individual, it may be possible to sell some term policies. Before negotiating a life settlement, you should speak with an elder law attorney as there may be tax and Medicaid implications from receiving the proceeds of the policy through a settlement company. While Medicare does not pay the cost of long-term nursing home care, you may qualify for a certain portion of the stay if you were transferred to a nursing home within several days of a hospital stay and you require skilled nursing or rehabilitative care. If you go to a Medicare-approved facility, your stay may be covered for up to 100 days. Medicare will also pay for in-home care for a certain period as well. This coverage may help if you are trying to reduce assets or do not physically require full nursing-home care.

SUMMARY: Purchase long-term health insurance. Cash in your life insurance. Check Medicare benefits.
