When you get older and the next downturn hits again...you'll be up all night anyway stressing over your family's security and future. May as well go ugly early! Nothing is bullet proof but freight is damn close.

I don't currently intend on getting married and if I ever did, no kiddies.**

For that reason I will pursue opportunities at the major airlines and cargo carriers as they become available.

**I know a lot of youngin's probably say that but I say it more sincerely than any other. The metaphorical house with a wife, 2.5 kids and a dog is just not for me.

Between Air Midwest and Comair and the fun to be had at each company, they have beat the airline outta me! I am starting sim on Monday with NetJets. I have nothing but praise for what I have seen so far.

You mean the metaphorical house with a wife and 3 ex wives, kids you don't even know are around and a couple of dogs. Plus child support out the ass. Gotta love AIDS, just hope the girl and I can make it through without getting the bug.
