I too worked for CAT during the Pacific Days...maybe we know each other L-1011...remember "Mustang Sally"?...anyway, the last straw for me was flying out of DTW (Metro, not YIP), back and forth to Indy...and Tommy Dickworth hadn't paid DHL's handling bill, so they rightfully witheld their services...no oil had been added to the engines in 6 days, and CAT wanted the PFE to do the daily and sign the book, even though his authorization to do so had expired...I refused the flight on my last day, (I'd had enough of this crap) until they sent one of our "mechanics" from YIP...

Needless to say, I didn't fit the mold of a "CAT Captain" (Thank God, I can still look myself in the mirror) so that was my last flight with them...Nov 2002...

Any of you CAT guys know if Sean ever got to drive the "race car"???
