Wish you were still here B.R but I'm happy for you that you moved onto bigger and better things at the majors.
I'm not sure who you are, but I greatly appreciate the compliment. Although having a high pass rate for sign offs was a nice benefit, feeling like I helped someone become a better pilot (first, second, or even third attempt) was what kept me sane after 3 years in the box. I am happy where I am now, but I am a small fish in a very big sea. I miss teaching a lot. I wish there was a way I could work for AWAC in some capacity, perhaps teaching new instructors how to be good teachers....but the FAA doesn't work that way, and neither do the bean counters.
