Don's Story

Life
Been living in SoCal since 1981. Rode my motorcycle down with 2 soft bags and a tank bag in December...
Flown for Fortune 100 corporate flight departments, airline in Las Vegas, an ACMI 747 freighter to Korea, charter, VIP, a little bit of everything. Now I'm flying for Netjets, a fractional operator, owned by Warren Buffett.
Married since 1985, two grown step-sons.
Play poker and waste too much time on the web...
Miss the NW and all my old friends, and you people are old...
2010 is a new year...
yep, furloughed and don't expect to be called back until 7/31/12. That could be optimistic if they trim the fleet types.
The punchline is - "what and get out of aviation." ;)
Warren Buffett can't afford me ;)
I share my home with a parrot and a terrier, which I find keeps me busy.

ver mentioned this, but now I know - "Flying is the best job in the world as long as you don't have to rely on it as a source of income"â ;-)
Word on the street is Netjets callback in 2015... whatever
Flying for Mega Maldives - Boeing 767-300ER & 757-200ER. The Maldives is approximately 1200 islands, in several atolls, about 250 miles SW of Sri Lanka, in the Indian Ocean.
Almost flying for Mega. Finally have the visas, just waiting on the Maldivian pilot license.... They don't have any fast food chains here and there's a simple reason. Nothing happens fast here.
Not holding my breath on the Netjets recall. Rumor now is 2016... May just keep on island time and play out the Mega Maldives til 65.
Celebrating New Years in Beijing
Recalled Netjets May 2014 - it's a job
Can't wait to move from CaliFornistan. Looking at NV or AZ, Reno, Prescott, maybe Mt Charleston outside of Las Vegas.
Aug 2015 been back at Netjets for 1+ yrs., been in Section 6 contract negotiations since. Waiting for the Golden Years, and an "intervention" to get me outta SoCal/Mexifornia...
