That first year pay as a Regional Pilot and ANG/Reserve pilot looks promising though.

Pretty much right on. Forgot about the guys already in the regionals that get picked up by ANG or Reserve units. Still, Timmy's age and time didn't in ANY way compute, which was really kind of my point.
As far as his quote, which is directly out of Dos Gringo's as was pointed out, I found this quote on the same topic over at BO. I almost threw up I was laughing so hard.
"All I want to hear from you is two, mayday, bingo and lead you're on fire. Correction, don't tell me I'm on fire, maybe I meant to be on fire. You can say "lead you appear to be on fire." In fact, disregard that, I would rather burn than hear your voice. Any questions?"
