All my kids are by my first wife. Of course she is still my only wife 35 yrs. I know I am not qualified to be a captain because of this but I am happy where I sit.

Now that was funny....

Swa guy and I make the same the difference is I never pick up or vja. I know what I am doing every day of the month. My VJA is called a stippen from Uncle Sam for 28yrs of service.

28 yrs. You deserve every stippen you get for puttin up with that amount of Air Force BS. 28 yrs is a long time for anyone with half a brain to not go insane or become jaded. My hats off to you.

I am old that way.

What the hell is a kernal anyway?

 

[Double Shot]

I'm thinking 9 days off a month, divorced or seperated and kids both with mamma and possibly a co-worker.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Gup

Nope. He just got married. No kids yet but I am sure there practicing.

As a HOU slug myself, I think you can hold it after about 6-7 months. Seems to fluctuate with the system wide bid month to month.

80% of the pilots live in Clearlake. The rest seem to live in places ending in "wood".

How's the drive down to Hobby for the guys that live up in The Woodlands? Everyday, twice a day would be horrible, but a couple times a week can't be that bad? Or am I wrong?
