hmmm....let me think. In 2000 I took my first PPL lesson...had my little brown book a year later. Held down a full time career since and finally finished my frozen ATPL last April. Sitting in 2 hold pool positions now for airline jobs but beginning to get a bit worried about the ecenomic outlook. In the meantime, im glider towing and also about to start para dropping at a local skydive club. Its been a long hard slog but the light at the end of the tunnell is just about within touching distance.
