Yes, I realize my hopes will never come to fruition but I will always pray that he does not ever get another opportunity to ruin another person’s life other than his own.

That sounds like a dangerous combo there...JO managing a company financed by Branson. Hopefully Sir Richard has more sense than that!

I'm head back to the Bro where I will be bidding and hopefully holding the best 121 flying in the NATION! That's PDX and SEA. IMO and I've been based in FAT, DEN, SLC, TUS and ATL; PDX flying is the best, bar none!

Where are you going to be based? I think you have to have known Methuselah personally in order to get a captain spot in PDX.

I do believe it's already happened.

FAT, I'd say 1/3 of their 4 day trips head up through PDX.

I doubt they are interested in 50 seaters.
