by the way, the guy that got the tail skid on me was on probation at the time. he was scared to death that he was going to be terminated. i had to take him to the casino at the hotel and feed him adult beverages to get him to calm down. i told him i was responsible anyway and let me handle it. to the company's credit, they just asked him what happened and let it go at that.
i just ran in to him in EWR about a month ago. although this happened in 1999, he never forgets to mention it to me when we see each other. he's flying the 757/767 now and will probably be coming up for upgrade in the next year or so, so HE'LL be sitting in the hot seat and get to do all the 'splainin'...

Hey guys,
Just want to apologize if I seemed to be a "250 hour" know it all. I learn every day and have enourmous respect for all my captains, yes, you too Kill Bill. Sounds like you've had a great career so far.
I did try the military route when I was young but was told 2 knee surgeries put me in a position that the best I could do was navigator. Its certainly my fault for going the corporate route after college and not jumping on the dream to become a pilot the hard way.
I only went the pay to play route in my 30's on the advice of 4 different friends of mine (one a FEDEX captain, one a United captain and the other two FAA check airman). It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Again, I apologize for any facecious posts.
