And you arrive earlier the same day than you departed from Hong Kong on those flights!!

My wife had a tough time figuring that out when I first started here...

She's a highly edumacated psychologist...i'm just an aviater, sorry, aviatur, sorry, pilot.

Any monkey can fly airplanes (from the Right Stuff, me thinks)...to have a real career, and be a mom, is a great achievement, along with putting up with our crazy lifestyles.

Years ago, when flying back to Memphis from Europe, the captain asked for specific vectors, so that he could fly over his house. I think he was checking to see if the 4th Marine Division was still parked in his driveway. I asked him about that arrangement and he said that as long as they cut the grass and left him a case of beer, he was a happy camper. Guess his wife liked the "arrangement" as well.

Hmmm...not sure I'd consider myself a "glass cripple," but it has been a while since I've flown anything else. Thanks for the words of encouragement though!

This is great, I'm looking forward to the challenge! Very happy to be on board!!!
