LOL, give me a couple weeks and that 10 legs will be complete. I don't mind the rain, just keep me out of RDU and we'll be fine.

Oh, come on, what's wrong with our fine permanent construction site masquerading as an airport? I mean, aside from the fact that it's along our permanent repaving project masquerading as Interstate 40?

ROFL, Clarke, I think that Florida heat has finally gotten to you. Scott will be appearing nightly in the Dawg and Gator Backcourse Grill doing his comedy routine. For those of you in the Flight Academy or thinking of joining, prepare to be entertained by Clarke and band of merry comedians, topic of discussion.....yours truely.
Like I said before, "Trees, just mulch waiting to happen"
As some of you know, I am a Director of HR in the RW. Everytime I have a new employee sign up, and they sigh when they see all the material that needs to be completed, I simply say "HR is happy until a tree dies"

Congratulations David. You are indeed dedicated and prepared to give up those Senior Capt. stripes to take on a new program. Also demonstrates fairness when applying our promotion policies. This must please you with your RW HR background. (Did you notice that I made no comment about your piloting proficiency? Just trying to get good guy credits so you leave me alone with my MA. )

Now that Keech has seen the light, I might have to give him a break. After all, he's moving into a tree trimmer with the shredders in the back.
