Welcome

As I'm sure you have noticed, the regional airlines have been in the news quite a bit as of late, and when aviation is in the news, that is rarely a good thing. I guess this was the final shove I needed to embark upon a little journey myself.

Flying for a living is really a wonderful thing. My previous career was no where near as enjoyable. However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. I feel the general public is just clueless or actively does not want to know about what it's like to actually do this work on a very regular basis. However, in the aftermath of the recent Colgan crash, perhaps the general public is willing to hear a little more about it.

That then, is the purpose of this blog. My plans as of now are just to provide a regular update on what it's like to do this for a living. I will give an honest account of the good, the bad, and the funny.

Aviation is fraught with vernacular. I will start assembling a Pilot Glossary of sorts and make that available here. It will contain plain English explanations of all those terms you hear around the airport.

I'm also happy to answer any questions from readers. This blog should serve as both informative and interactive.

That's about it for the plan so far. We'll just see where it takes us from here. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you to see you again soon.
