First name: Alti. Had a good day today. Got to add the word General in front of my title. Going to have some interesting challenges. The out the front of a U-2 for your trouble.

Congratulations. Remember, if you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted. Re the U-2, I just read an article the other day that one of the Dragon Ladies flying over Syria racked up its 30,000th flight hour. Also this: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/f86sabre-bait-1792056824 , ICYMI.

So, when you are not at work and talk about work are you going to start everything off with “Generally  speaking....”

Congrats.

I had a number of folks who are ready to take my old job. Something I am pleased about is the number of folks who were part of my team who have gone on to be leaders.

The D.C.-9 pic was awesome.

So... you’re the same rank as this guy now, huh?

Outstanding. Sounds like you’ve got some really good people around you. Gotta love the steam gauges. So much teal.

Apparently, N3304L was Delta’s first DC-9.

I can only think of the $20k I need to fly in a Mig to that altitude.... Since they won’t ever let me go up in a U-2.

I have the best people around me. Really amazing folks.

I have a love / hate relationship with the -9. It was a great plane for its time, but by the time I worked on themafterthe merger they were tired. Getting to be that way with the -88s as well. That is going to be a big part of my new gig is keeping the -88s going to retirement.

Pretty much. I’m a slightly better public speaker though.

If I had $20 to spend I would do it.
