    Pretty impresive life time career in transportation. As I'm sure you're well awhere of the economy has been doing an extraordinary job of tankin' in historical measures. I think we may all be in for one heck of a ride till it gets turned around and that will take a bit of time. Our country has been enjoying a "boom time" that has shown more growth then at anytime since the late 40's and 50's, its just a simple though painful fact that there has to be a down for every up and after a BIG up you're gonna have one heck of a down time. I'm not happy about this either and it makes my life harder also, but this is how it is and so we must be stronger then the times. Cuzz as wise ol' friend once told me "To the strong, and to the risk takers so go the spoils of the battle". I ain't quit yet and hope you don't either my friend, Stay safe out there and hope you do find a good carrier to pull for sometime soon.

    I knew that the age limit had been discussed by the FAA but I didnt think they actually had changed it yet?

    I'm headed To Squire in Indianapolis for orientation and training, on Mon 23 Feb and if that goes OK then on to Knight. I'm wondering if Knight will have any openings in 3 or 4 months with the economy the way it is.
