funny old world

18 years ago shot down by the speedbird boys......5 airlines 3 furloughs and 2 bankruptcies later I find myself flying the speedbird in an a/c I never dreamt I'd fly (let alone for ba)...and here's the kicker my friends...18 years from now what ,where and whose a/c I'll have flown and which call sign I'll have used will have very little to do with me.....I must say that whilst I appreciate job protection and earning potential issues the expereince and good times I have had flying with all breeds and brawns under the atlas/ba deal has enriched my fyling repetoire to no end.....although I do appreciate that it probably irks some folk to hear "speedbird" in a thick us brawl....then again ever heard the radio in the us northeast....pretty peppered with all and sundry....and that just the us commuters....
