I got it, and wrote you back, thank you! Going to spend more time reading it this afternoon when the office slows down a little. I really appreciate it though, thank you so much!

No problem Steph. Hope it gives you a little insight. Ask away if you have any questions, and I have lots of contacts at that school in Orlando. May even be able to arrange some inverted stuff for you if you go there.

AWESOME! hee hee... that's the best... that's actually what inspired me to fly. A trip down to CA in an RV-6, upside down over the ocean!

Hey Paul, you wont hold it against me will ya? Whaddya drive and where based?

dave

I got a quick lesson one day when I almost couldn't get a 152 out of a spin. I was ready to throw my student into the windsheild. Anyway, a buddy was watching and told me later that the airplane was all over the sky. Turns out the 152 was bent a little, and did some funny things. I never spun that one again. Anyway, my buddy took me up in his S2B and then later I got about 65 hours in his Extra 300. That is fun flying!

dave

Gotcha...I'm ready for a quiet, uneventful year in the industry but I'm not gonna hold my breath. I've stopped reading the industry press--got a buddy works in high finance involving airlines so I get more accurate info from him. Hope things settle down and stabilize for you guys too.

Funny thing, I could care less what the company or union says anymore. I just go to work, flying the line, go home, drink lots of beer, and wait for check to get deposited. Too many things I want to do in life to stress over the rest. However, you are right, a little peace would be nice.

dave

sorry guys, did not mean to get on a work topic. Like I always tell my buddies when we are drinking, "Beer, Boobs, and Football". Well flying is good too.

Hell no! We're all just cogs in "the man's" flying machinery. I keep a distance from all that finger pointing and sneering. I focus on the job and the fact so much in the future of the career is wayyyy out of my control so I control the things I can, like doing my job the best I can and and taking care of our customers...<<kumbaya>> I'm ATL based 767-400ER F/O--goes to Lima Peru, Hawaii, Europe. Been workin there almost 10 yrs

Amen bruthah!!

Add firearms, warbirds and....boobs again. Now where them mouthy broads at?

And I thought I was trying to stir the pot.

dave

Did you miss me Paul? *bats eyelashed*

I really do love my Corsair by the way, it's so cute!

I have some good company that I've been emailing today... as much as I would like to devote my full attention to you Paul, I just can't. hee hee . . .

I was messing with my camera too, seeing if I could come up with anything post-worthy.
