Default Another Newbie

Hello!

This is my third post, I joined two days ago. I am an anesthesiologist who can't seem to find the happiness in that work as I feel when I am flying. After about 125,000 FF miles, I decided to fly myself. I am very new to aviation and welcome the opportunity to ask questions of those more experienced. There seem to be a lot of you in the PHX area. I am in TUS. Thanks for accepting new members!

Not sure yet. Both job personalities are the same: inability to panic!

I am very green. My first flights were out of JAC as basically a front passenger, two TUS departures, and Ryan Field.

That is correct, or at least it felt that way. These are Frequent Flyer miles, so I was a professional passenger. I flew the global circumference twice, and almost to the moon distance wise. Thank God they were mostly first class or I would have legs that fold like a frog's by now!

And, at the risk of being forward, should I meet frog_flyer? And would the 125K mean anything?

I thank the nurses every day...if I don't, I won't get any help. AND they do a lot of very useful things too. It takes the whole team to do a good job.

I guess when people ask you what you do and you tell them you put people to sleep, it may be time to move into the exciting realm of flying...
