Default put a fork in me

I'm done. Just resigned from skywest. It has been 8 months and I have enjoyed everyone at the company. Great organization and more importantly, great people. I got a lucrative deal outside of the industry, blah blah blah. Had to take it. Thanks to all the captains that I flew with.

You will be back. Crack is very addictive. Just kidding, I'm just jealous.

Thanks guys, and sorry Tony, yeah I am junior to you. I will be returning to my other job that I have been doing for years--teaching tennis at a country club. Not a bad gig and it'd take me an upgrade and 15 years to make similar pay (plus I will have holidays off, etc.)...I will miss the crews and flying, though.
