Thx paperboi for the encouragement. The busts were for trivial, stupid things in retrospect.

Rickair I've got no 121/135 time to speak of so i'm still gold there.

I'm old enough to say i'm prolly not major material anymore -- I'd rather take the seniority/time off benefits @ regional levels to run my outside business projects/ventures than slug it around in the R seat of progressively bigger planes with crappy schedules but who knows? Maybe things can get so bad that there will be a offer from an Asian Godfather...
