I've flown 5 different aircraft types since I've been here, enjoy training, and planning on adding to that count.. I love the variety of equipment and the variety of routes that you can end up doing. It's a great airline for someone as ADD as myself.
Our current number 1, Haley, just celebrated his 41st year last month and has 1 more to go! I've heard he's a fantastic guy, too. Even though he slotted in at #2 in the SLI, he's virtually been #1 along with Cal due to the 777/744 fence. Anyone know how long he was at the top of NW pre merger?
I'm at 34 years combined military and Delta. I've loved every minute of it. Taken off and landed in 69 countries and all 7 continents. What gets old are the hotels, crew vans, time zone changes, time away from family, etc. That's my point. I've got 8 more years which will put me at 42. I'll be happy to move on, sad to miss the guys I've flown with but will have had enough of flying. I'm going to be a ski instructor at Vail in my next life and go home every night. That's my happy place.
