How does it feel not having tracers whizzing up all around?

Boring! Life's no fun without bullets coming atchya!

Actually I'm hearing bullets aren't out of the question when flying into Detroit.

You still get the referral bonus?
Who's on those runs these days? If you see a tall dude from U-tawh, named Trevor tell him Travis says hi!

Danger is hot.

Especially when it's someone else's.

Flew with him tonight! He said he knew lots of Travises.

Great guy though - gotta respect him for thanking me for doing the preflight, runup, and the paperwork even though it's my job.

Well a big "Doh" on me! I keep forgetting that I roomed with a Travis and Trevor knows both of us! Trevor's a good guy. Real laid back. You'll enjoy SICing with him!

It's not your job. And don't let anyone tell you it is. You're not an FO.

No, no - no one has. I mean it's my job as a qualified crew-member to do those sorts of tasks - and it's his job as the PIC to make sure it all happens correctly.

And really it would be pretty boring to just follow the PIC around like a lost puppy while he did this and that. Makes more sense to split the duties so we can depart quickly.

And it looks like with this run I'm on I'll be done SIC-ing next Tues or Wed!

And to all the other congrats-givers - Thanks!
