• Training Complete

  Hi Everyone,

  Sorry I haven't had time to write a new entry in. I have been busy with training at work.

  I have successfully completed the training program at American Eagle Airlines and I start Friday.

  The past couple of weeks I have been doing Initial Operating Experience (IOE). That is where I actually sit next to a Captain-Instructor-Check Airman and actually do flights with him carrying passengers to destinations. It's where I actually incorporate all the training I have done so far into the line flying.

  It was fun and I think I will like the job a lot, but I will probably feel really drained and tired because I will be stuck with the bad schedules as the new rookie.

  Been to a lot of new places and many of them I went to for the first time:

  Springfield, MO

  Ft. Smith, AR

  Columbia, SC

  Knoxville, TN

  Mobile, AL

  Baton Rouge, LA

  Houston, TX

  Chicago, IL (O'Hare International)

  Peoria, IL

  Ft. Wayne, IN

  Ft. Walton Beach, FL

  I just wish I had a camera to take pictures, but my camera is too big to be carrying around. I overnighted at some nice hotels and just wish I could share the experience with my babe and show her what I do at work. I also wish I could show my parents what I do at work too.

  Just really nice to take people to where they need to go and I really enjoy hearing how they thought the flight was nice as they get off the airplane.

  Just stressful now to look for a place to sleep in Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX and also stressful looking for a car.

  But going to do my best to go home and see my babe on my days off. Just nice that I get the privilege of flying all the time to go back home to see my babe and family. It makes the time I spend with my babe a lot more precious.

  I got to celebrate her 24th birthday at MoonStar Buffet in Daly City:

  

  I got the chance to watch Batman: The Dark Knight. I thought it was really good and the music made it a lot better. I am listening to the soundtrack right now.

  I will be in San Francisco, CA until Thursday and I will be leaving for Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX.
