Buzz, this darn bug is a pita. Had it way too long. Sick of being sick, and just wanna go fly.

In the end its about protecting pilots from any unintended consequences. This is why the ALPA forum serves a very important service. Its behind a firewall, this is not. Just had a good friend call and tell me (along with a slew of PM's) that any info was not to be posted on open forums. (read second had to me) Apparently the posts were reported to someone over on VA ave, and my friend caught wind of it. He was just looking out for his fellow pilots, and I agree with him. Better to leave that stuff in e-mail chains, word of mouth, or a forum behind a firewall. Listing a laundry list of specifics has previously gotten unwanted attention. Apparently discussing rumors, speculation etc does not, but detailed notes do. Take that as good advice I guess.

As for my new position. It has me at home with an apron on chasing after three kids. I tell ya, three is a game changer.

Three is DEFINITELY a game changer. We closed the club after our third. Just wait until they're all playing different sports after school and on weekends. It's always IROPS.

Try 4! And as one Capt. said to me a long time ago, when I was crying about not getting any sleep with 4 young kids in the house...

Timbo,

You are optimistic. I was planning on a rate of return, with inflation, of -6%..

Im going to work until 77 and then die. The secret club is lobbying the lawmakers to extend 65

Well that might be working for you, but my tactic is...drink more beer!

Timbo,

Isn't your problem more severe than "4 young kids?" Don't you now have "4 young women?" /shudder
