Beer - Monk, I hope that you are with APNG as it sounds to me like you need a few oldies like JR to kick your butt now and again to keep you in line.
JR started flying up there way back when and was a highly respected checkie in my day and most certainly would have earned the priviledge of his Dash 8 command the same as any other F/O has.
Being a few years younger than JR but not in the flying 'role' I certainly enjoy the return to aviation, the challenges and the ability to impart a few well-earned pointers to the younger jet-set and would like to be still doing so in a few more years
Keep up the good work JR an example to all, and remember, "tie 'em down you Maori warrior!"
Looie.
