I will definitely look for his writings. We had some incredible people at Braniff. I really missed them, and the company.

Pilots are some of the best equipped workers to deal with today’s workplace uncertainty as they train to expect and manage the unexpected a normal part of flying.Mireillehttp://www.womenofaviationweek.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-4345345438788364422011-01-18T11:50:05.904-08:002011-01-18T11:50:05.904-08:00Nice picture of the Braniff B747 at Gatwick.

Len Morgan? Back when Flying was worth reading I always opened my issue from the back. First, <i>Bax Seat</i> and then Len Morgan's <i>Vectors</i>. Gosh, the man could write.<br /><br />In his book, <i>View From the Cockpit</i>, there's a wonderful, bittersweet account of the "Great Pumpkin"'s last trip back from HNL after the shutdown was announced. If you haven't...<br /><br />And, it's nice that you've turned the lemons of furloughs into lemonade. Good on ya'.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />FrankFrank Van Hastehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10821687850881538546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-15892820713046056302011-01-18T10:47:24.968-08:002011-01-18T10:47:24.968-08:00Thanks Karlene for answering to my question.

It's just a day off without pay which sounds much better than a furlough in the airline industry! I love that you took it as an opportunity.
