I remember at Coex calling whatever we called the crew planners there and I found out I was going to hold captain on the rj in Cleveland at a year and 4 months. Sweeeeet. I think. I hope. Stayed up late watching MNF and slept in the next morning only to have my phone start ringing off the hook because it was September 11th 2001. I ended that week being told I would be furloughed, even though I wasnt. But i don't take anything for granite or marble... or even cheap wood.

Im as excited now about what I see going on here as I was back then. It's awesome. I can't believe I can hold ATL88A, have a good number below me in NYC on 88 and 717 and even have people below me on 320A in nyc. That's awesome. Good for those guys. Hope it never stops. Just like I hope greenslippalooza never stops either.

Fingers crossed till they're almost broken. But fwiw I'm staying right seat for years to come. Life is good.
