2 Things:

Rick, it's great to hear that you finally got out of that sh!t hole. Who are you flying with now and how do you like it?

As for filming, I've seen a number of cockpit videos on youtube, particularly CRJ's. Whats the deal on being able to record things while in the cockpit? Is it ok if it's during non-sterile time? Is it ok during TO/LDG if you have it sitting up on the glaresheild or the jumpseater is filming?

Finally, I will officially say that as "plane crazy" as I am, I'd rather spend the rest of my life as a Brookstone retail sales associate than spend a year working for Mesa.
