Miguel -

A few months ago I was jumpseating across the country in the jumpseat and some woman who knew you came up to the cockpit (she's an F/A at the mainline carrier whose flight I was jumpseating on) to get advice about a trip to Australia and New Zealand she was en route to (I had just returned from Melbourne and Sydney, and the captain used to fly nothing but Pacific Rim stuff for years with CO Micronesia so he was like a travel agent). In conversing eventually your name came up somehow, she knew you but I didn't though the named sounded familiar from what she said (transcon commute to EWR reserve).

Small world huh.

I bet you don't miss that commute one iota! Good luck with the DPE process, however long it may take.
