Gary's Story
Life
Well... the story is:(in a nutshell) Went into the Air Force at 18. Travelled extensively worldwide for for 10 years(with a broken heart). Discharged in "90". Landed a job in "86" with Airborne Express as a Flight Engineer. Got Married in "90", Divorced in "93"..no kids...whew! Lived the "life of Reilly" for the next 9 years. Moved to Oregon in the mid "90s" my dreamland, What a PLACE! Met the woman I could really get used to and call my Friend as well as my Sweetheart and she was in New York!...got married for the last time. And she came with a 10yo son! My Daughter was born in "04". Now my life would be complete!
Ahh Low and Behold! I now, after 20 years, have to train for a change in vocation. I guess B-767 Pilot is not really a downgrade but it is still a difficult change at the ripe old age of 49. It is a long row to hoe but it will be worth it in the long run. Just trying to st...Expand for more
ay healthy and keep the family happy... What else is important?? OK, now the add-on.
After almost 24 years with Airborne Express/ABX AIR Inc. I am facing the same plight as millions of fellow Americans. I am to be furloughed as of June 15th. Now it is really time to look to what I want to do when I grow up! DHL is making sure our company will struggle to stay alive but with 1/4 of its pilot force.
Stay tuned for the next part of the story...
Alas! The saga continues. After 3 months unemployed I returned to work flying B-767 aircraft around the world. My now 5yo lil girl is a new person everytime I return home after long stints away. Life for the wife is not as she wanted so it looks as though the end is near. I cannot be home and fly at the same time. We just never got into the married partner groove. I hope we can keep it civil... film at 11.
Hugs to all,
Gary
