Oops, you got the wrong guy there Skyhigh. I made it out of the MD80 in '95. But would I advise someone to get into this industry? Dunno. Would I discourage someone from this industry? NO. Big difference. Depends on one's background, training, attitude and desire.

And if your mentor flew DC-10s for Delta, I just can't remember Delta having DC-10s. Western had them prior to the merger, but can't seem to recall the DC10 on the property. L1011s, MD11s, even 74's in the early 70s, but the 10. Care to enlighten me.
