Mike,

Thank you for the heads up on hiring! I left Part 121 because of needing weekends off to see my kids (divorced before kids were in school and they didn't live where I could commute from). Once my oldest started school I couldn't see them on the weekdays which were basically the only time I had off. I also realized that no matter how big my check got or plane I flew I would be living out of the suitcase and hotel room rest of my life. That's why it's nice to hear of guys like you who are actually enjoying the carrot. I feel like I have the best quality of life I can have while flying planes for a living and that is good enough for me. I get treated very well, get plenty of time off especially for seeing the kiddos and am not just a number. I really do feel like I'm living the dream as crazy as that sounds. I hope I can retire with this company. Maybe someday we will get something that goes higher and faster but if not it's ok too. If by chance I ever do need to go job hunting again I'm sure my resume will go to Atlanta. We all know this is very unforgiving job market for us flyboys. On occasion I end up in KPDK at EPPS aviation. I'll hit you up next time it happens. Thanks again for the encouragement and if you ever take on new customers let me know. Sorry for being long winded
