@MCCCANM Very interesting. As a pilot mom and daughter I often say "have fun, fly fast" with no clue :). Navy son headed back to KBay last night - maybe your flight. Small world.
@MCCCANM A follow up request for content: would you comment on your early years with the Airlines and reserve duty? I know someone trying to make all those decisions now and would love insights about what you would do differently, what turned out to be important in Work, life balance, etc
@MCCCANM I'd love your writing style. It allows those of us without an aviation background to understand the context, but I suspect you also put enough meat on the bones that those who know the lingo appreciate the fullness of this situation.
@txsalth2o Our hometown college football stadium has a new sound system. I tried to go back to my car to get the earplugs I usually carry with me, but they just reiterated that no reentry policy. I sat on my seat with my fingers in my ears most of the first half and then left.
@BuzzPatterson@Twoeggers I hope they bring the Falcons, they have for the last three or four visits. I've had the pleasure of posting them at our home.
@annbauerwriter It didn't save my 80 year-old father. What was shocking to me was we didn't improvise and have summer school outside or anything creative we just shut it all down. It's almost like it was intentional.

@BuzzPatterson When my son went to the airplane school, we would always fly in/out of the Reno airport for USAFA parents weekend. The airport gets a little, well, Burnery. What are juxtaposition!
@ShalimarCharlie@KurtSchlichter Navy mom here. My salty sailor complains. He comes from a long line of complainers, as we like to joke. Deployments suck. Extended deployments really suck. That's why vets should get good parking and board first. They sucked it up. End of story.

@rod_mallo I think Southwest is using a modified version of this. My mom and I traveled together but booked our tickets separately and the window seat was boarded in an earlier group than the middle seat โ same row.
