>>>If you ever thought of flying, now is the perfect time to pursue the dream. Go for it!<<< I might just. I balanced all, brought all to mind, The years ahead seemed waste of breath, A waste of breath the years behind, In balance with this life, this death. Not sure that "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" is the poem to quote to persuade my wife and daughter to let me get into flying, though. [G]

Welcome back Earlie! I too was concerned your absence might have been that you didn't keep your little speed demon in the air.<G> Did you get to Oskosh this year? On airlines...my son-in-law (former TWA pilot) that was furloughed with the American buy-out is expecting a call in a couple of months from American Eagle. Likely to retain his seniority & possiblably 2 years back pay (the latter is really not expected). Of course, these will be smaller jets & there will be an approx. 50% cut in salary, however, these guys just want to get back in the air (and of course the benefits are hard to beat...so far). Looks like our little Greystar is getting started, eh? Thanks again!! Had to cut my trip short up in the North Country this summer...ATV trailer hit a boulder & bent the axle :-( Take care & don't be a stranger, you've been sorely missed. Bill
