Corporate flying is not all it’s cracked up to be either. Some owners are temperamental, cheap & controlling while others are OK. I’m approaching the twilight of a 40 year career fulfilling a childhood dream to fly 747’s all over the world, make some new friends & have some fun along the way.

Theres Atlas or better yet Kalitta if you want to fly the 747.

Thanks. Though my record is spotless, I was in an accident. (SIC & non-flying pilot.) It was still enough to disqualify me from consideration. I can’t say I blame them. Lots of applicants to choose from.

Im counting my blessing. I’m having fun in indoc & working with some good guys with varied backgrounds: A380’s, A340’’s, A320’s, 747’s, 737’s & several RJ models. Simulator training starts end of next week.

Doesn’t sound like your record is spotless if you were in an accident.

What ever happened to the idea that, "There, but for the grace of God, go I"?

Jesus, man.. May all your flights end well.

Just making an objective observation about the contradicting statements. Not judging.

Most people wouldn't feel the need to state that observation back to the other person in public -- their prefrontal cortex would filter it -- unless they were being judgy.

Moreover, that kind of statement is really being made for the benefit of the group, as if we were a bunch of guys standing around talking and you were heckling or mocking the guy in conversation, so, again, it really does come across as judgy. There's no other purpose of saying it. You wouldn't send it in a p.m. to the person out of the blue. So you're saying it to degrade him or mock him or just preen for the group at his expense.

Well allow me to retort.

Actually I can’t. That was such a well thought out statement. So sharp. Your intellect is dizzying. Well done.
