By the time I would get college and maybe get an interview and then start all over????? I cant do that to my wife again! So its a gamble but one that I (we) are willing to take. Besides, it cant really get any worse can it? The way I see it is if it works out its a better job then ups or Fdex. IF. Granted thats a big IF. If DHL wants to stay in the US they need ABX Air.

I took your advice and applied. I did apply in 2000, updated 2001, 2002,2005 and now reapplied in 2007. Times are changing so maybe this one will hit. I do know one 76 CA who I flew with on the 141. I'll see if he will write another letter. Come to think of it, didnt we fly together???? (wink wink, nudge nudge) Maybe you could write a letter??
Just kidding, thanks for the encouragement.
