Yep.I actually had one of those and 10 minutes into it I stopped it and thanked him for playing. Found out info that made it a righteous bust. But, no,no one ever "suggested" any level of punishment to me.

Some years they were good($40K+) and some years they weren't more than 12-15
I know at the ACP/RCP level there were no retirement perks. I think that starts at the SCP level.

From Sep 02 thru May 05 there were, to my knowledge, 7 ACP's hired in Central Region. Of the 7, 4 came straight from the line, JS, JP, SM and RT. 3 came from training, DM, CS and SB. I think you can say the same thing about them as I do about civilian/military pilots. Some are the best I've ever met and some are the worst. I'll let you decipher who is who......

SB welcome to the forum
. But if you want to hide your secret identity I suggest a new screen name.

One of the best we had over there. Thanks for doing that job. I hated to see you leave, but I also like having you in your new job.

SB and FecAv8r,
Is the aluminum parachute a one time deployment, or is it possible at a later date to go back?
Seems to me that a healthy mix of a few years there, a few years on the line, and then in and out of some training/mgt positions would make for better results on all sides. Then again, I ain't been in your shoes, so I that is pure speculation. So my question is "is going back to the line is a one way door?"

Going back to into Mgmt depends on a few things. One, if you want to. I spent 5 years and Splash spent 2 or 3 years of 7 day a week, 24 hour a day issues. You get screwed on your vacation due to the fact that when you take a day off you take a day of vacation. No more turning 1 week into 3 weeks off. I never took a vacation where I didn't spend 2 0r 3 hours a day on the computer. My wife got used to doing a lot of sight seeing without me. If you don't go into the office on Christmas day you have to take a day of vacation, even though no other "non-pilot" manager has to do that.
Another factor is who you work for. I think that says enough for that reason.....
There are many other factors I would love to talk to over a beer or 6.
I really loved doing the job, I was just ready to go back to the line. I won't rule out the possibility of doing it again.
Hey Splash, good to hear from you.....
