Positivity and help goes a long way. Share experiences. Help others...this is what forums are all about.

[Jettech1]

Nothing else to say other than...help each other.  Encourage others..get involved...be helpful when you can.  Share your person experiences without judging others.  We are all on the same page with different sides of the page.  We are all on this earth, with many different incomes and expectations.  But we are here on this forum for a reason.  What is that reason?

[rdonarski]

Exactly! We all need help at times and we can all can give help at times. I also enjoy the light interaction. You really need a sense of humor to survive now days.

Romans 12:18 reads: “If possible, as far as it depends upon you, be peaceable with all men.”

 

I always liked that scripture. It isn't permission to be a knot head when the other guy is trying to destroy peace but a reminder that we, no matter what, must try to not be the reason for there not being peace. Try even when they are not. Not always easy and we ALL fail at it at times. Push back the keyboard. Take a breath. Give it a day to two to reply. Measure those words. For the stubborn there is always the block feature. It's easy to get caught up in the heat of the moment. Embarrasses me silly when I fail at this. Imperfect is a condition, not an excuse. Forgiveness is free. My 2 cents worth.

Coincidentaly, I just got a letter from my selling dealer that they want my 2020, cash offer. blah blah  I might stop by one day and see how eager they are for my trade in.  I bet some dealer in Atlanta is just as eager for a 22.

Way back when in the old age year of 1985, I graduated from high school.  My high school offered a 2 year degree in Automotive servicing.  So I did that and graduated from the vocational part as a master tech in automotives.  I was a total motor head, still am today.  But I didn't want to work on cars for a living.  So I went to Boston and did 2 years there to get my A and P licenses.  Now Delta would not hire you if you weren't past military or top of your class in school.  Well after working my butt off I was top of my class.  So Delta hired me here in Atlanta and that's my history.  Been there ever since.  I've done stuff over the years that I don't ever believe.  I'm a small town guy, grew up fairly poor in the great state of Maine but always knew I never fit in.  So luckily I worked hard, and Delta gave me a chance.  The rest is history.  I've done so much crazy stuff on aircraft...I've had a blast.  Now I'm winding down my career....but I'm telling you one thing, it's been a blast!!!

My son followed in my footsteps.  He's a lead mechanic at Embraer in Macon, GA.  Trust me on this, they are great aircraft.  Especially if he's had his hands on it.  He's a perfectionist like I am.  As to the -900, hey it's a boeing.  They are great aircraft.
