First application to a Major in early 1990 . . . . Hired for the first time by a Major 4 Feb 2008 . . . . . Furloughed 11 months later, 4 Jan 2009.

. . . . . Ironic, ain't it?

In all seriousness, I have always been very blessed with good friends, family, a pretty good dose of conservatism as far as fiscal matters go, and a higher power that looks after me all the time, so I really can't complain.

Furlough from Trans States.

I think this would be a good place to show appreciation to all of you on here who stuck to principle and continue to keep GoJet in need of pilots.

You are appreciated. God Bless
