I frequently fly YYZ-BOS on Eagle ERJ135's. I've been on many flights where the weather has been poor - landing in snowstorms, crosswinds, breaks between thunderstorms, etc. I'm crapping myself and you guys are probably loving it
After reading many of the posts in this forum over a couple of weeks I realize the challenges you guys and girls face every day. I just wanted to say Thank You and express my gratitude for flying me safely and skillfully and allowing me to see my family after every trip.
My emotions must be in override right now. That made me tear up a bit after everything that's been said. Thank you very much, it certainly means a lot to all of us right now.
"I'm crapping myself and you guys are probably loving it" HAHAHAHA, that was awesome!! We do love our jobs my friend, and the challenges it entails, but to fully appreciate the job you must accept and understand the risks and challenges to their fullest
You win the award for the best first post if I had to vote!
Cheers to you my friend, and may life take you in good directions
