Some times it pays to be in the right place at the right time. A couple years from now, if he keeps his nose clean, he will be in a great position. Maybe push to be a Check Airman and Instructor and he will have all the boxes checked to go just about any where he wants. The Airlines have been a horror story for a huge percentage of us...this guy is sitting in a pretty good spot. |

Direct Air is a virtual airline. They contract out all the flying. Unless something changed, Sky King just provides some of their lift.

Who knows about pressurization some people will feel faint and pass out from walking up stairs. I doubt they were above a 14k cabin to trip the masks. Heard that direct air got bought by sky king?
I love the "Not my airplane, not my problem" response from DA, LOL! And Sky King just did not respond. I know Worcester, MA airport is not happy with the Sky King service. I know some agents there that I still talk to, and they have nothing good to say. |

It's not that rare. Military pilots have just as much--if not more--responsibility at that age, and have for decades. :cool: |

Sure, cruising around by yourself or with a crew of three is just the same as 150 men, women, and children relying on you. :cool: |
