Sky and TP, thanks for the good info. I think I'll just stay retired. It sounds like quite an adventure, but not willing to go to Dubai for the FO pay and have to (maybe) fly 9 day trips, yuck!

Cliff, thanks for the info. on USA Jet. I'm burned out on the whole flying thing, unless it would be something, seriously, different (as I would imagine Emirates would have been).

take care,
F & H
