Jason,
From the various stories you've shared with us in the past, it seems like you have experienced some pretty cool things working on the ramp.
I would say for me aviation has been a life-long passion. I remember always being the kid to look up at the sky during recess when an airliner or even a little single passed overhead. (Of course this was usually followed by being blindsided by the soccer ball)
. Our family didn't fly commercially very often, but when we did it was a BIG deal to me! I was always more excited about the plane ride than the great vacation that followed. It was like Christmas Eve for me. I would lay there in bed for eight hours just thinking about how much fun the airplane ride would be! Who needed sleep on the verge of such an exciting day?! Of course I would always insist that we get to the airport at least 5 hours early so we could see all the airplanes!
At the time, the thought of actually being a pilot was more of a fairytale idea than a reality. In fact, it wasn’t until about two years ago, after graduating high school, that I decided to pursue it as a career. I have been very happy with that decision, and don’t plan on ever turning back…
