Big easy

We spent an evening in New Orleans last night. I've only been here one other time but the first wasn't an over night. We brought two planes over for a board meeting. So the other crew went out with us. We stopped at drago's for dinner. The charbroiled oysters are awesome. After dinner they all decided a trip to the river boat casino was in order. I'm really not much of a gambler but eventually I joined them on the craps table. I walked out $97 in the positive so I suppose it was a pretty good evening. 
Switching to the corporate would has been a great move. There might even be much better news coming soon. We'll see

What's new

Some things have changed in the last year and 4 months. Of course one of my last post was about my leaving the 121 world. Things at eagle had starting going south very quickly. What should have been a 3-4 year up grade turned back into 7+ years. Of course that is if eagle (no longer named eagle) still exists. My bid status had dropped to a level that may have been lower when I first became line qualified. Even though I had a short commute, it became to much with me being on reserve. 
It's really such a shame that management just has no respect for the flight crew. In not going to go into details, but I could never recommend anyone go to eagle, or any regional for that matter. 
So I went back into the part 91 world. I was doing flight instruction, and flying a 182, and Baron for a couple business.
Then out of the blue I received a phone call. Someone I knew, asking me if I might be interested in flying a citation XLS. 
Hmmm, uh. YES! It wasn't to difficult a decision. It's been so long since I've posted to my "journal". I'll have to start posting again.
