A couple of questions if I may?

Which airport do you work at?

Thanks

Glen

they tested that plane here in the south of france, right next to my office
seen it a couple of times.
it's huge, yet very silent.
I'll wait a few years, before getting on one though...

I understand being an air traffic controller is one of the most stressful jobs there is. I knew a guy who burned out while still in his thirties and had to drank several bottles of Maalox a day before he called it quits to wait tables in a restaurant. Can you relate glen?

Almost as stressful as my job. (Sales, ads) and CHASING DEADBEATS. Listening to a deadbeat give you a song and a dance is about as stressful as it gets.

(Just kidding....anybody that does that air traffic shit has got to be on the ball constanly from what I understand)

I've always had a job. Well ....most of the time. I've always had a STRONG protestant work ethic. No work no eat. Get up with roosters or you don't get to sleep with the hens.

As long as I get my vodka! Psst: Delays? They are there because of overscheduling. And bad weather!
