4.3 GPA in high school/top 3% of class
3.85 for BS (completed in 3 yrs)
3.85 for MS (completed in 2 semesters)
After college became a CFI for almost 2 yrs, hired as a 121 FO with around 1400 TT (would have gone MIL route but couldn't get a flight slot with eyesight)
Upgraded in 2 yrs 3 mos to the EMB-145, got the 1000 TPIC in 13 mos. Started applying to legacies in '08 only to see the economy crash and age 65 take effect.

Took a lateral CA spot on the ERJ-170 for more pay and another type 3 yrs ago. Thought it might help get at job at US Air/JBlue by having time in type.

Now have over 6000 TPIC, 9500 TT. 8000 of that is 121. No check ride failures, disciplinary issues, etc. 3-4 parking tickets since '97 but that's about it. Applied the last 3 yrs to be a CKA but was told "maybe in a few years when I get more senior".

Volunteered quite a bit with missionary work, habitat for humanity in high school/college. Most of my 121 career was at 12/13 days off as a commuter so not much time to volunteer if I want to see my family/raise kids.
