Hindsight is 20/20, brother... Who knew, right? It certainly could've went either way...
I signed on in '83... I wasn't even lookin' for another job at the time. I also didn't have too many financial responsibilities back then. I was 21, the company was still small, the starting pay was decent, and I figured, "what the hell", I'll take a shot at it. Why not... Over 30 years later, I'm still here, and very happy to be!
I flew jump-seat outta MEM about 10 or 15 years ago with a former Marine pilot who had a single-digit employee number... Real nice guy! Crazy sense of humor...

Oh well....Life has been good so I really can't complain.
My one buddy who retired still lives there in Memphis. I believe He was flying 747's when he retired.

The 747's have been gone for a while. We acquired them when we bought Flying Tigers, back in '89... Really had no use for 'em...

Yeah....I know he has been retired for at least 10 years now. He went out a couple years before I did.

Morning all, the sky dumped half of lake Michigan on us last night. Yards flooded, neighbors dog is floating and the roads are soaked.....but the sun is shining, so I took the bike out there on the super slab and told all those cages to get the hell out of my way and most of them did.
