Capt. Randazzo : - real world airplane.

Robert, I'll send you a shovel and a power drill if you give me some profit off oil when you find it. Yes, I said when, not if. ;)Good to hear some of your stories. You should post things more often that don't relate to PMDG. After all, it is your forum, who's going to lock the post.:(

Things are no better in the FAA right now. ATC is back to 1981. We will never strike, but I don't know what will happen now. The work rules they are trying to impose on controllers is scary. Not to mention the pay cuts. I may have to go back to flying also since I don't know how to do anything else. Anyone need a Boeing rated flight engineer?? :-( Scott

Wow, Captain . . . I do believe you just wrote a biography in book form in this thread ;-) Awesome read. This is the longest I've sat still all day.

I agree this is a great post! I remember seeing it when it was first posted and hoped Robert would reply :( I didn't realise he wasn't flying at the moment!Why do you need to take the type rating course for the -400? surely you just need to refer them to the product, they'll then say, "you probably know more than us! here's your rating" :-lol Anyway good luck with everything Robert.

Joe-Thanks. :-)I wish I always had lots of time to answer questions in detail... I need to clone me. :-)

[Guest Knikolaes]

I shall notify the republic immediately to get their cloning troops ready.
