Bean: "I know it was probably stupid of me,.." Not so Bean. Your above post makes perfect sense to me, (which, as the following demonstrates, may admittedly make that a questionable tribute to your thinking at the time) 😉 If you wanna' hear from "stupid"...well...times were different and jobs were plentiful, and with hand-held "ins" from highly placed compadres at the then much younger Southwest and FedEX...I was "too good" to so belittle myself as to merely drive little 737s around podunk nowhere (much less buy a Type to do that!..I mean; What nerve!) or fly a few boxes around at night..and I won't even mention the "You're hired! Come in for a class!" from majors I didn't think well enough of at the time. Well...I initially picked Eastern (still Real Eastern then though) Suffice it to say that we'd need more than a few cold ones to completely cover "stupid" in any reference to this crazy business 😉
I completely understand, I never wanted to fly cargo. I wanted to be an airline pilot and have the responsibility that goes along with it. Sounds like between the two of us and our mistakes we could go through a lot of beer.
