Hi, all. Newbie to posting, but have perused and followed this thread a little.

With what I read and what I have been seeing, I didn't think I would get the call. Completely overwhelmed with excitement and gratitude from those who helped me.

Thanks to all for posting here and helping guys out. I will try to do the same!

Quick background: Hornet guy, now doing a station billet flying our Citation Encore. ~2200 hours, ~1900 PIC. ATP, CFI Instrument, Lead Instructor Pilot/Evaluator, Post Maint. check pilot. I had 11 recs with 4 Delta recs. I have a great Delta 747 FO that has been mentoring me. He did not write a rec as he has never flown with me, but has been coaching me along the process and helping me through the career choices/decisions/thinking.

Once I made the decision to go the airlines and leave my military career early, I was Delta all the way. That is all I wanted and am incredibly grateful. INCREDIBLY.

I have a lot of studying to do (!), but wanted to introduce myself and hope to be a part of helping everyone out.

As we say in the Marines....

FLYMARINES!
