Ray 767, a few points, "apply for job at different company", A lot easier said than done, most companies have a pecking order or list, a new pilot would be at the bottom in most cases, very few DEC positions these days. in my case I own the company and am contracted to a corporation to provide air service, my advice, go this route.To someone not a laywer its strange that Lois Reil gets a pardon and one cant have laws made retroactive, but having sat on a few juries of late Im convinced the present crop of laywers are only interested in winning, not whats just or right or moral.On another note, we just had another celibration for one of our number who passed on, before some try to come back they might want to check on thier ancestors mortality ages, some of us are not lasting much after sixty! But on the other hand only the good die young, see you in another twenty years! Regards, Clunck.
