Flew for a 135 operator in bethel ak, flew freight for a year at a now defunct company, now I'm on 3rd year pay in the right seat of the bro. Work is not easy to find right now so instead of blowing my brains out I kayak and I use internet forums to vent my disgust with some of the **** my employer pulls. My level of negativity does need to come down a bit though. I'll try and not call them skywaste anymore. Hopefully you are having a fantastic day, in whatever base in whatever seat in whatever airframe you may be in. Should we ever fly together you'll certainly see that while I AM negative about the condition off my employment, I am an extremely positive person in my real life at least when I'm paddling. Thanks for playing
