Does your airline have online applications??

FourGolds, I totally agree. Twenty eight years flying airliners and I could leave it tomorrow if I could get a buzz. I am not married to Mary Lou (Mine's called Gina) but I do have two Labs and a paid for house.

The closest I got to what you are talking about was to fly a floatplane in Scotland last year. Total freedom, challenging flying and a fabulous buzz of being a novice with much to learn about floats and mountain flying, and that with 22,000 hours! Of course there's no money in instructing but if I can just get the jet set jobbie pension fund to stretch I feel it may be the route to happiness for me.

As you say though. Give me a poky GA type and a departure from a Norwegian Fjiord and I'd be a pig in brown smelly stuff.

Wannabe's?.....wake up to reality. There is no utopia above FL200.
