Well, you are lucky if you don't have to hang out in any concourses!! I learned long ago that flying passengers is a lot of hassle!

The day may yet come (probably will) when my knowledge and skills will prevail in a dangerous situation. In fact, they already have. I can think of several times in my 4000 hour career when only through teamwork and weather knowledge and system knowledge and skill did the flight end safely. The RJ can be a real handful to fly at times, especially in gusty, turbulent conditions which require engine/power management which can look like sawing a board more than flying a jet.

I do ***** a lot. But I also like my job and never let my attitude about my company affect my flying. That would be the height (or depth if you will) of unprofessional behavior.

I raise a beer to you Mr. Jungle, but we will have to agree to have a different view of our position.

Happy and Safe flying is all I wish for anyone here who is sincere! I do mean that too.
