Ellen-

This is a great post, and appears legit, but are you EVER going to tell us where your information comes from, or are you just going to count on us trusting you?

You'll just have to trust me I guess, or spend some of your own time verifying what I post, if you are truely that concerned. And quite frankly, you should verify things that are posted on here anyway because it's the only way one can be intelligently informed from pure fictional BS to what is actually happening in the world of aviation.

"Hot News"
"PSA just declared that it will be closing their doors as of May 7th, acting Director Vernon Kenestrick said Saturday May 5th from their corporate headquarters. "This is a sorry day in our history, but as an airline we lack the resources to continue in a profitable manner. "

All training classes are cancelled, employees are asked to remove their personal items from their lockers and pick up their final paychecks form their supervisors Wednesday May 9 through Friday May 11th, or they can expect them to be mailed.

An Airline Pilot? Yep - I'm a Professional-Hobbyist. Because we don't make enough to call it a Job.

(Just made that up. I'm so smart)

Alright. I guess I just don't understand how hard it would be to include the link for the multitudes of information you provide us with, or at least the name of the publication...

Sky: did something happen in your past that scared you away from flying Go ahead and tell the story about how you nearly bit it, and we will all finally know why you are such a cynic!

I have told my story many times here already. It involves loss, death and massive disappointment. If you wish I will again retell the sorry tale. I am sure however that most here would prefer to be spared the story yet again.
