Ran into an old classmate today
Not seen him in 14 years (since 6th form). Last time we saw, he was talking to me about wanting to go to flight school and be a pilot
Today he casually says he's been flying the 777 for the Emirates for the last 7 years.
I was so happy!
This is a video from our flight the other day into #Melissa as we were going through the eyewall into the eye. It gives you some idea of the level of turbulence and shows how awesome the pilots and crew are to keep the plane steady. Also wanted to give a shout out to the maintenance crew for keeping Kermit in good shape during the sequence. We didn't have a single flight get scrapped during what ended up being almost a week of missions.
A lot of dudes want stuff but they can’t sacrifice or lock in for a year. Every man needs to have that nasty year where there is no fun or enjoyment, straight grind.
