Isn't it amazing what can be accomplished when everyone isn't so worried about not offending people, and risk aversion instead caring more about killing bad guys and breaking their shit? What if...

Israel just blasted the Houthis this morning; they are not fucking around.

Well done! That is pure reality and thank you for sharing. No one knows when your times up so enjoy everyday as much as possible. Too many ways to unknowingly depart the fix which is an absolute. Fortunately I myself have been blessed beyond what I deserve and know it. Went thru a normally inconsequential surgical procedure last summer which turned into a debacle (not the medical teams fault, things go awry at times.) Although it was a bit disturbing, my transition to a strong OneLife viewpoint nearly a decade ago stayed the course afterwards. Airline wise it will be different for me than most as I will most likely miss this job as I enjoy most of the attributes that it brings as it fits like a glove beyond the so called work itself. Having two to three weeks off in between or more and wanting to jump back in says a lot. Rather be lucky than good especially when you might be no good 😉 *May you find your sweet spot and relish the time you have. Not everything needs to be rushed. “Live Like You Were Dying” - Tim McGraw song makes sense.

Many and they were right; eventually my brain got hammered into the right shape. Which they did a great job at, only took one assignment. Dude I’ve given a lot of debriefs as IP/EP that weren’t well received due to my non-empathetic tactless delivery or they took shit too personally. If you’re reading on this site you’ve likely given/received the same. I was surprised to discover the civ world is a whole different level. That is all.

Dude, you just described EWR. PS. My use of the term dude is uni-whatever and applies to man/woman/it. Why do I say this? I read some AK/HI duking it out on APC and apparently, calling someone Dude was akin to a societal travesty. Surely we are more normal over here, right?

Long forgotten as my goal was to retire early anyway. Stayed single in a target rich environment, no kids, lived well BYM, and retired at 59. Enjoyed the job but have never missed it. Multi millionaire DAL brother in-law recently found out he has cancer two years passed age 65 retirement. Changes everything.
