He loved what he did,most people hate to get up in the morning and go to a job they hate.Don't spend your life doing what you hate to do do what you love and there won't be enough hours in the day for you,the money will come.
Admireable to say the least. But, since I have never heard anyone on their death bed say they wished they had spent more time at work, I think I'll retire soon.
I thought you already were. You mean they still putting up with you?
I get a few more paychecks. But they end between now and the end of the year. I like my job but I am ready. Quite frankly, with the new corporate structure I don't really have much to do. That's why I'm on here a lot.lol
Well, that's kinda how it was here. I got mine out of the truckline but stayed on at their request and made a nice check and insurance. That started in April when they bought it and lasted til July and I came to the house. Flying is getting slim so I really don't know what I want right now. There's only so much of that back porch and Ice Tea that you can handle.
I went to Oregon a couple of weeks ago and looked at a plane. They are in the middle of an annual now. Will try and make a deal then. So that will take up some time and most of my money. Haha
Well, I got a friend that has a flight school not too far away, and he just come into a whole bunch of daddy's money. He is strongly thinking about getting some big iron in that and trying to work out a full package deal. He is wanting me to come out there and help him, probably teach and check ride. I got to look at the time and distance involved(it's about 200 miles) and being gone. Money ain't bad though and you know us old folks are greedy.LOL
Flying sounds like more fun than being in the trucking industry.
Uhhh,yeah!! After working in the airline industry for years...and then driving a truck for years...I can attest that flying is a helluva lot more fun than chasing that little white line!!
Well,the being gone is not that big a factor. The wife is getting tired of me being underfoot.lol. I got to take a trip and look at some stuff in the next week or 2. He has his finger on a couple of good right seats that I know and we may hop some stuff around to test it out. He's looking at some mad dogs that AA is trying to shuck that are supposed to be in top shape, and a couple of RJ's of some type.I think his main objective is to try and work into some advanced type thing and he has some decent airline contacts for placement, so we'll see. Hell, if I can have some fun, fly for free and make a little money too, it won't be a bad deal.His money.lol
Them mad dogs and rj's will be like a cross between your 67 and a Lear jet. Have fun.
Well, the main thing that bothers me is that in a few years, all mainline stuff will be underwing engines, regardless of mfg, and the dogs and 9's will all be gone, and there is quite a handling difference. That said, doubtful they'll go to the scrap heap so there will be a lot of 135 work. Oh wee, his money.lol
Just caught a glimpse of some of that 135 work this morning. Looks like a dog of some kind that Mitt has leased to fly around in.LOL
At the risk of being political I hope he graduates to a 47. :-)
well, yeah.lol We kept it aviation oriented though, talking about planes.lol
