Bringing a tear to my eye, was looking at sailboats today(again.)

The plot thickens Kids...

I will be calling Front Office this evening, as I have now Retired from this ever flowing cup of diminishing returns that has become that of our once proud and beloved Industry.

Retirement ain't easy Folks. It takes guts and an ability to withstand many hours of boredom....punctuated by, sheer nothingness.

I must admit that I have "The Problem" when today I find myself day-dreaming about flows and switch flipping.

I CAN beat this...With your help.

I still dream about the girlfriend I had before my wife. Doesn't mean I want her back. My God man THINK! I love my job and most of the people I work with. But it's just a job.

I'm jealous of you. You got a flying career and now a retirement career! Lucky bastard.

The post is old but authentic. Actually a few pilots got together, quit their jobs, and set sail. Their maiden voyage was well documented: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTU2o3LGumI

To the contrary, the story is a drama inhibitor. Carry on, Folks.

How is Front Office doing?

Anyone know the status of Front Office?

Ok, I am sick of all this airline B.S. You too? Been doing this crap for 27 years.



The FAA, bitchy old 250’ flight attendants with rear ends the size of pack mules, rags and f#g’s, bad schedules, being JA'ed, non-reving, bad management, dead heading in the middle seat, mergers, seniority, all-nighters, no food, bad coffee, bidding, sh#tty hotels, vacation, kids, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends or both, waiting for gates, weather, low approaches, PC's, PT's, weak check airman, medicals, driving to work, commuting to and from work, spring break, Christmas, Chanukah, Easter, car payments, house payments, insurance, alimony, child support, gas, electric bills, lawn service, maids (because your fat a## wife wont get her a## off the couch), cant drink, drug and alcohol testing, dry cleaning, security, TSA, Terrorism, bad porn, good porn you can't have, no porn magazines in the airplanes anymore, sexual harassment charges, high gas/oil prices, IRS, rush hour traffic, that d#mn alarm clock, crash pads, co-pilot's that tell you are a bit high and fast and she/he puts the frick-en speed breaks out 80 miles from the airport at 5000' when you are trying to get your commute flight home, flight attendants and co-pilots telling you they are senior after being there 3 years, cell phone's, bidding every d#mn month, they guy or gal on the headset that you cant understand and I am sure there is more.



Well I am sick of it!!! I just went out and bought a 40' ocean-going sailboat. I am out of here!!! No more of all this B.S.



Might even step up to the 56' by the years end if any of you want to come up with some additional bucks.



I am out of here in January. Quitting!!! Yep that’s right I am out of here. Want to go? Start planning, I want to see the world, want to go? Where we going, who knows, who cares!!! I do know there will be a stop in the Virgin Islands, Costa Rica, and New Zealand and where ever else the trade winds take us. We will decide when we want to! Not Crew Scheduling!!!



Want to go? Start planning, do you drink, smoke, or scratch you’re a## or balls in the morning? Who cares!!! I don't. Laid back, want to get away (Thanks WN), tired of all the Bull S., want to see the world, no hang-ups, enjoy life, have some extra bucks or just find this interesting, well e mail me.



I am selling everything as you read this. It's going to be so much fun to tell crew scheduling to sh#ve it up there a## on my last day, not to mention my chicken sh#t chief pilot.



I am fed up!!! You too? I am not kidding, sell the house, cars, and cash out the 401k’s, IRA’s, stocks, bonds or what ever else you may have. They will never find us. Just don’t plan on coming back if you sell all that stuff. I am not coming back. My closest friends will know where I am.



Take a chance and enjoy your life while you can….



I am…



Contact Departure…………. See ya,
