Even though I found out about PDT's current hiring state last week, this week has been surprisingly good-
Sent another student for an instrument rating: he passed!
Went for an MEI cert: I passed!
Had midterms for master's degree: I passed!
And...have my first helicopter intro lesson tomorrow!

Let's keep this thread going- we all need to hear each other's good news in today's climate.

Although I was laid off from my salaried position a few months ago, I'm sitting in beautiful Monterey, California right now getting paid to fly for a couple of days as a contract pilot

My wife and I snapped up a ridiculously cheap Hawaii travel package recently and we're leaving next week.

This thread is still alive.

 

Unusually warm couple days in North Texas so I'm hooking up the boat and going fishing tomorrow. Life's pretty good.

 

You should have played the lottery that week...

 

Hey, thanks SayAgain for reviving this thread.

Start a new job tomorrow monday. Nothing glamourus -bartending-, but gets my out of the house and puts a few bucks in my pocket. Besides, learned on saturday I have a very good chance at flying a corporate gig starting late march early april.
Good news indeed!.

 

Getting a divorce... Havent decided if it is good or bad news yet...

 

That's easy!.

Do you get to keep anything?.......Good news.
Are you out on thew streets with a bag full of clothes and 310 dls to your name?............Bad news!.

Been there, got hosed.

 

Congrats to ya bud! Keep flying, and hopefully one day you can join the rest of us, and we will welcome you to the suck!

True that! I'm still driving my '96 Chevy Blazer ... 13 years old and still running strong!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Cheers to the upcoming Grandfather!

Absolutely love skiing ... just found out yesterday that there is a ski resort about 45 min from where I live. I just about kicked myself in the shin when I realized I had been here 3 months and hadn't figured that out yet!!

Well, if you're in a relationship, I would sure as hell hope so ... if you picked her up at a bar, it depends on whether she was too drunk to leave early, or she was actually interested in staying. I would say cheers to ya!

Ok, you know what ... that just flat out blows. Keep that head held high, and move forward As much as things suck sometimes, life goes on!

 

Taught a student to land in a crosswind today. Pretty priceless by the time they can finally land on one wheel, on the centerline, and keep it there for a few seconds.

 

Haha, thanks for that. Unfortunately, 2 ran out of money and can't get loans. So I am down to 2.
