Friday Flyer...

Celebrating The Future...

 Grandson Carter

To all future pilots ...

This is to honor your passion, effort and potential. May the gift of flight take you farther than your wildest dreams, and the pot of gold be waiting under your rainbow.

It's memorial day weekend and I'll be spending it with my grandchildren. But as promised I needed to select a winner for the mug with attitude, and discover where in the world I'll be going with the five copies of Flight For Control. Last night Carter selected a couple winners out of my Northwest Airlines hat.



 And We Have A Winner!



The Mug with Attitude goes to:  
John Franco


 And Where in the World am I going?
Looks like New York.

Congratulations 
Jeremy Carlisle!

Despite the drawing, I would love to join anyone at their book club, event, or social gathering. You plan it, and I'll be there. We just have to coordinate schedules. 

Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend!

    Oh my gosh, Carter looks not only like a future pilot, but a genius. The kid's got a future!

      I'm not sure what this one is going to be. But he is a little love. He's in non-stop continual motion, and then he'll hug tight, lay his head on your shoulder for a moment of rest, then he's off again getting into something.

    Karlene,

    There is a lot of talk with the decline in pilot salaries and the continuing issues with fatigue and working conditions especially early in a pilots career that the industry won't continue to attract good candidates in the future. What are your thoughts? Will you be encouraging your own grandchildren to become pilots?

      I think the job in itself has a lot of drawbacks with the fatigue and working conditions. But there is a lot of good in it too.

      For my grandkids I will encourage them to follow their passions. Whatever they may be. To do what they love. To enjoy their life, never be afraid to try new things, and to follow their hearts, not their pocket book. I think that is the key to happiness.

      Thanks so much for your comment, and the question.
