Visit to Seattle/Boeing

mpenguin1 · August 31st, 2004, 22:23

I am going to take a visit to Boeing / Seattle, there is an open house that I was invited to on
19-September if anybody wants to tag along, let me know. There is going to be a tour of the Renton 737 Plant & some other stuff planned with lots of Boeing goodies to be given away.

That's going to be so cool. You are the man with the connections around here. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I would love to go, but I don't see how I could.

mpenguin1 · September 1st, 2004, 00:35

Well, what can I say, it has been discussed on this website many times, but, connections are
very important to a successfull career. Don't worry, there will be another trip t SEA in the future.

Kristie · September 1st, 2004, 03:29

good because we wouldn't be able to make it either.

MQAAord · September 1st, 2004, 08:34

Aw, that would be so much fun!

Unfortunantly, with the Vegas trip, I couldn't do both [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

My Grandpa got to tour Boeing a few years before he died, it was one of the best experiences of his life. I hope to get out there to see it someday myself!

I was seriously thinking of going to the everett factory a few months ago.. still am but rental car.. hotel.. ugg ugg..I was thinking of maybe putting that off until I started Multi training and flying up to Paine field to see the factory..

gosh i'm tempted.. airfare is only like $200 something from salt lake roundtrip..plus they don't offer public tours at that plant do they?

Well, normally they don't, but, like I said its who you know *wink*.

They do have some plant tours open to the public.

i'll need to think about it least for a day.. just recently quit my job and still haven't signed this loan for the last 50 hours of my commercial but.. geez.. renton plant.. that's like dangling a carrot in front of a rabbit... ugg I am weeeely tempted. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif[/img]

is this a one day/half day event? what is the open house about? are they selling the sims to you guys? (looking at your web page.. wow sims..)

Matthew

mpenguin1 · September 1st, 2004, 13:19

To be honest, all I know that it is a Boeing friends & family day open house, lots of goodies to give away.

As for simulators, the company I work for has the simulators.

Don't kill yourself, there will be a Boeing adventure to Seattle in the future, though, the real goodies will be passed out at this Boeing event.

kellwolf · September 1st, 2004, 14:06

Hmmm, I think I'll look at BNA-SEA flights today.......

Ahh yes!

Tokyo007 · September 3rd, 2004, 13:28

yeah I don't think I can do it.. I'm still tempted.. and I WANT to but yeah, maybe I should hold out for the next one you have planned (how far in the future?) are you just getting a hotel and stayin one night? Or are you flying up and back to CA same day?

oh well anyway thanks for the invite.. still tempted but right now with zippo income I have to figure some things out right now.. now if I had a job [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]... mc would be all over that.

Matthew

mpenguin1 · September 3rd, 2004, 14:06

I am going to fly up on Saturday, buddy pass on Alaska, meet up with a buddy of mine, he is going to use his pass on Southwest. Overnight it on Saturday, go to the Museaum of Flight and swing by Boeing on Sunday.

Don't kill yourself, as I said there will be other chances, not sure of the date yet.

As far as money, if you start collecting cans & bottles now, you may have enough money for a ticket, HA!

Mike

Tokyo007 · September 3rd, 2004, 14:17

true that on the bottle collecting lol.. sad thing is I've got the money NOW.. just it's supposed to be towards my commercial but wow that sounds real fun.. i'd say like the weather i'm 90% not going but wow real tempted to do some clicking online to get there..

Doug Taylor · September 3rd, 2004, 17:00

montanapilot · September 4th, 2004, 17:36

I'll try to make it. I ve just gotta get back from MT.

CaptainChris87 · September 4th, 2004, 22:46

Yeah I can't make it this time I cant take two vacations on one month for school nor can my parents take off from work twice in one month as well. We can probably go to the future trips. so Thank you anyway for the awesome 'connections' you give us, and have fun in Seattle. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

kellwolf · September 5th, 2004, 00:16

Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to bail on this one. Vegas is got most of my $$$ tied up. That I I need to find a j-o-b.
