Cleared the inner marker, wheels down and locked, full flaps, and on final...
Just waiting on a formality...One more phone call, and Steve is back in the majors...Feels real good...
Going to be a nice Christmas this year...
Patience is a virtue, so I must be a Saint by now...

I don't know exactly what your referring to but I just realized that I am Bilingual. I speak and understand pilot talk fluently.After all these years I could have checked the Bilingual box and didn't. Might of ment extra pay.
Congradulations on whatever your refering to.

Thanks, a little slow. It's 430 am in wonderful Arizona.
The good news is I will be sleeping in my own bed tonight.
In the last 30 days I have spent 22 on the road or rather in the Air.
Glad to hear your good news Stevie-D. Looks like You will also have a Thanksgiving truly to be thankful for.

He's saying he is about to land. As in "land" a job. Wish I was.

This downturn is worse than after 911. I don't remember a recovery taking so long in my life time. But we have a wonderful leader that will fix it all.
Or at least take the credit when it does turn around or point fingers when it doesn't.

Yep, if everything works out (and it will), the long (jobless) drought will be over very soon...
1,378 feelers (applications, resumes) sent out worldwide...Divided by 20 months...Factor in only 3 interviews (no offers)...Comes out to about 2 attempts everyday to find work...I believe it has been an overall "fail" on my part...
Pending one more "formality" interview to set the salary...bingo...

Wheels stop...
Will be starting next week...
Going to have to calculate how long this ride was...Feb. 20th, 2009 -- Oct. 28th, 2010
But not going to dwell on it...Looking forward, but always remember what it took to crawl out of this rut...
It's character building...
