Well, if she'd have waited for another three minutes, I'd have been happy to talk to her.wstachourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447198404608861357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15935045.post-32172950724148954312007-09-04T11:38:00.000-05:002007-09-04T11:38:00.000-05:00I try not to assume the worst of people, but there...I try not to assume the worst of people, but there are too many senseless acts of violence for me to ever let my guard completely down.GreenCanaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16853115389272100845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15935045.post-51934837691461288932007-09-04T00:24:00.000-05:002007-09-04T00:24:00.000-05:00My husband learned to fly through Air Cadets when ...My husband learned to fly through Air Cadets when he was sixteen and has always flown since then.

Myself, I'm on the steam-powered Douglas DC-8.<BR/><BR/>My company hires about 80% ex-military guys, a kind of ongoing good-ol'-boy network where one's military service and unit become key in one's post-service career. I have great respect for military service, but I'm not quite sure what relevance it has (especially the single seat fighter variety) to a private company hauling boxes around at night. But these flight departments like people who are just like themselves, tracing back and back to the formation of the airlines at the end of the Second World War (when there was scarcely such a thing as a non-military pilot).<BR/><BR/>I'm unusual in that my background is entirely civilian--and I wonder sometimes how I even got hired (though I'm grateful to have the job I have). The guys I fly with are good people and good pilots, but I don't need to spend any more time around them than work allows (and I'm sure they feel the same).<BR/><BR/>There are worse things in life.<BR/><BR/>Your writing on your blog is really wonderful!wstachourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447198404608861357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15935045.post-37760706518918534492007-09-03T20:59:00.000-05:002007-09-03T20:59:00.000-05:00I read your comments on my blog.

As for the traits of pilots, they may be flaws but they're what the airlines are looking for apparently. <BR/>My husband is not a bad man but he is always a pilot, first and foremost which makes him difficult to live with. He doesn't know how to shut it off. <BR/>Glad to hear there are pilots out there who aren't like this. Might have something to do with his age as well, he's 52. Younger men seem to have different attitudes today, which is a good thing. Same goes for younger women. <BR/>Anyway, glad you stopped by.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
