Walt - been there. I pulled gear at AWA for a former F/O at Henson who got on AWA a month ahead of me. It was pretty funny because he had come to Henson from a desk job in the Air Force and was pretty rusty. I wasn't too sure he'd last as a civillian pilot but a year or so later it turned out great and we had a good time. Another former Director of Ops from a former job pulled grear for me at AWA on the 737 when he was busted back to F/O for a short while due to an incident. That was the wierdest one of all but it worked out well for both of us. It's happened at least a half dozen times to me. I try to never burn bridges.
