Paid my dues
You know, I wasn't sure how to respond to some of the the stuff coming across on this thread for a while. First off, I didn't get "some sweet aviation job" I got a job at Trans States. For you guys who know what that means, drill pay was the difference between personal bankruptcy and solvency. Also, the periods of AT/ADT that I did were great but they weren't free. I'm not sure but I get the impression from this board that you think I spent my time on the beach hanging out with hot chicks in bikinis. I wish. I spent most of that time making power point slides and other stuff.
As far as paying my dues, I spent many years eating dirt and living on ships as an NFO. I know that most of you think that's not worth anything so, for you, I spent many years CFIing and flying checks paying my dues again to get where I am. If, after all that, my time in the reserves offends you so much, I wish you would let me know. PM me. BTW, I will be in a forward area pretty soon so I might not get back to you for a while. I hope THAT doesn't offend you
