On my third year anniversary date with SKYW I finally made it into the left seat. That makes it about 5.5yrs from zero time to captain. I took the Brasilia slot that opened rather than wait for the jet. I am really excited about it too. I think the Bro is a great plane and it will be really fun to fly and get my feet wet as captain. Plus I am going to FAT based and so I am thinking about taking a sabbatical from the UT mountains and hanging with my bike in California for a bit. Fun times!!!!

Congrats man! If I pick up any west coast trips, I'll have to look you up. As of now, it looks like it is back to the east coast for me. Are you going to make it to Vegas this year? I promise we don't have to share a bed!
