The best B-737 accident investigator in the world just offered me a job.

[DemoTex]

Tough decision. I wasn't looking for a job. He just called. I'm flattered. As an ALPA trained accident investigator, I'll probablly sign on. Too bad, tin-foilers!

[madrchsod]

3. jesus a job

[DemoTex]

5. My "ego"

Please explain that gratuitous jab. Quick.

[DemoTex]

9. rchod

you must be a real jerk. a chickenshit, like bu$h. answer my question, or deal with my vendiction. Seems that you and I have tangled before.

[SheilaT]

4. Wow!

Sometimes nice things happen to good people! How will this interfere with retirement? Will you then cut all ties with your nameless former employee?

[Rick Myers]

6. Congrats!

Sounds like an interesting gig!!!

:toast:

[Zorro]

8. Go for it

When opportunity knocks, open the door.

Congratulations.

[greatauntoftriplets]

10. Great going, DemoTex.

Sounds interesting. I love over-the-transom type things like that. Good for you.

[DemoTex]

11. Happy thread spoiled by "RCHOD"

What a happy fellow. Thanks for the interjection, jerk.

[DS1]

13. Don't sweat it, Mac

It'd be a tough decision for me to make if I were you, you've just got this awesome new place with some great neighbors, it would be hard to give up that life. You wouldn't be seeing many pretty sights either doing that job, if you have the resources to stay in N.C., I think you should. You worked a long time to get there, why leave now?

My .02 on the matter.

[DemoTex]

15. Great 2-cents my friend.

Thanks for the input. I am a workaholic in remission. I need a fix!

[peacebuzzard]

23. Welcome back to the skies.....

congratulations!!You rock!

[Misinformed01]

12. WOW!

But, to be honest, I am not surprised. It's would be obvious to my cat that you are smart as hell, and have an awesome personality!

Good for you; do you want to come out of retirement?

[DemoTex]

14. Yep, think I will.

Great opportunity. Back into the B-737 rudder actuator fray. But then little minds like "rshod" don't understand that. Too bad.

[Misinformed01]

16. I wish I knew what a B-737 rudder actuator was!

Hey, I am trying to figure out my 98 Outback! That rudder actuator stuff sounds over my head---good thing they called you instead of me!

Seriously, Demo..I wasn't kidding; it's obvious that you are pretty special and intelligent---as far as I am concerned, this was just "proof" of something DUers already knew!

I will start looking for your posts about the new job-

Will you stay in NC?

[DemoTex]

17. Oh yes! Work from the mountain house.

Travel to accident sites. That is bad news. I've kicked tin too many times before. Duty calls, however.

[Misinformed01]

21. ex-paramedic here

Yeah, accident sites are tough---But, you'll have tons of support from family and DUers..and I know a guy who would love to double haul some lines in the FL flats with you when you get stressed! (He can cook too! JanMichael and I can go to the liquor store! :) )

[DemoTex]

18. Rchod will not respond to my emails

rchod is a jerk. always has been, always will be. get a life, buddy-role.

[BiggJawn]

19. Is there a lot of work for 737 investigators?

Another reason I'm taking AA to LAS...Super-80's and that curious thing called a "J-31"....

[DemoTex]

25. Oh yeah!

Take the MD-80, BJ. Oh, the J-31 is a death tube! Just kidding (maybe). BAe JetStream 31, yesterdays airplanes today!

[BiggJawn]

29. It's a definte "Puddle Jumper"

Noisy as a J-3 and we made an approach into LAF that made a 737 arrival into DIA seem like a grease job....

But LAF doesn't charge for long-term parking...

[Lars39]

20. That is so neat, Demo!

Life's never dull, is it? :) Best wishes in your new endeavor.

[Bertha Venation]

22. Congratulations!

Great news.

[DemoTex]

24. Thanks for the email, rchod

Nothing like a good wet kiss on a make-up. Eh? Sorry if the misunderstanding was on my side.

[GOPisEvil]

26. Congratulations!

:thumbsup:

[lazarus]

27. Way to go, Mac!

If an investigation ever brings you to San Diego, you are requested to look me and Haele up. We'll treat to a fine dinner, sans the evil mariachi music. (Yes, there's a story behind that one.)

[TrogL]

28. Do it, do it

[ProfessorGAC]

30. Cool!

That sounds like a very interesting job. Good for you!

[Robb]

31. I married one of you people

...no, not an accident investigator. :) From what I can tell from reading your posts over awhile, you're just like Mrs. Robb -- sitting around does you no good! :toast: to a new job! :thumbsup:

[myomy]

32. Good show Mac

IÕve a rating on the 737 (long retired now) and it is a fun airplane.

[ZenLefty]

33. Maybe you can finally explain all those chem-trails in the sky

Unless you're one of them, of course.

Congrats! :toast:

[geniph]

34. That is awesome, Mac!

Right on, brother! The fellow obviously knows talent when he sees it! :loveya:
