I appreciate all the comments and thoughts. I did in fact shave the beard for the interview, painful, because it was truly magnificent.

As far as to motivations, I’m currently a Captain at one of the majors, but unfortunately, lost my medical. Financially, we are fine, but I’ve become bored sitting around all the time, so I figured I would get a job. Flight Safety looks to be a great operation, and all the people I met were great, but for anyone else looking at them, the schedule is tough if you are planning to commute. Thus, I turned down the job this evening, and I guess I’ll try to find something else closer to home, and start regrowing my beard.

Thanks again!
