Default Update

I appreciate all the comments and thoughts. I did in fact shave the beard for the interview, painful, because it was truly magnificent.

As far as to motivations, I’m currently a Captain at one of the majors, but unfortunately, lost my medical. Financially, we are fine, but I’ve become bored sitting around all the time, so I figured I would get a job. Flight Safety looks to be a great operation, and all the people I met were great, but for anyone else looking at them, the schedule is tough if you are planning to commute. Thus, I turned down the job this evening, and I guess I’ll try to find something else closer to home, and start regrowing my beard.

Thanks again!

Appreciate the update. You may want to double check the fine print on your loss of medical policy. At my employer, if you make too much money in other employment you lose your benefit.

Nice! Dude could hang a patch like that, like Moses strolling back in from the burning bush.

No wonder she got lost.

No, I've been told it was space aliens, but it was the beard.

Hers was magnificent. Noonan's was so-so. One cannot navigate around the world with that kind of dynamic.

Varies by airline.

Ditched & died in the Pacific at about 10 on an overcast morning three weeks prior to the famed pilot’s 40th birthday, July 2nd 1937. Earhart is enshrined in the hall. Navigator Noonan is not.

Fred was reputed to enjoy his beverage. To the degree that it may have contributed to the historically notable events.
