aa73 and sliceback- thanks much for the info, I appreciate it. Very encouraging stuff and getting more and more eager by the day... I have the college degree, have the turbine PIC(over 4,000 hrs) and sounds like with dad having worked there, might(hopefully) be the trifecta. Just can't screw up in the interview when it comes.... Only company I ever really wanted to work for, so my determination is great. Luck always helps though and can never hurt. Thanks guys!
