Fly6584,

I was never a FAIP, but listen to me very carefully!! Joined the AF in 85, going to fly an F-15!!! Got a C-141 instead (Washed out 65% of my UPT class so I was happy to get wings!) If I knew I would end up in a C-141 I would have stayed in Law school, but within 18 months of arriving at my base, I was flying a combat mission invading Panama, flew into the Soviet Union, when they were still the Bad guys! and had women from all corners of the globe!!! It was a Blast...still is (C-17)
Fast Forward to 1994
Got hired at one of my LAST CHOICE Airlines (the C-141 was a last choice as well) The airline that hired me was UPS!!!!!! It is a BLAST!!! making the big bucks, driving a Vette! Hot Wife, cool kids, life is good!!!
The MORAL of the STORY????
Throw out that dumb excel spread sheet thingy, stop trying to predict the future, cause you can't and do what you want...and even when things don't go your way roll with the punches....
Good Luck in Tone's
