Welcome to ScubaBoard! :happywave

I've always thought that being an airline pilot and a diver would make for a great combination. That is as long as you give yourself sufficient time after diving!

Dive safe!

Hello, & welcome. I'll be around North Richland hills in Jan. if you want to get some dives in then.

I gotta ask... what airline ?
I'm moving back to Houston from Guam shortly (giving up my trusty 737 for a 757). I'll be looking for any excuse to go diving somewhere ! I've kinda gotten used to warm water and unlimited visibility.

UPS, MD - 11
I just left the 757/767 and really miss some of the Boeing ways. Better schedule for me. If you haven't flown the 757 you will love it. Stay in touch and will try to get together as much as our schedules allow.

Would love to. We just had a lot of flooding here in Central Texas but the water will be cold (at least for us). Come down and try Lake Travis. Vis is usually around six to ten feet but it's better than a mudhole.

Free travel ???

IF there's room to get on the plane (we're the last to get on)
IF your luggage gets there (guess who's luggage is lowest priority - employees)
IF you can get on the flight home ...(hope there's a hotel available if you don't)

That said, it STILL beats working for a living and there's nothing else I'd rather do..., but don't just assume we can hop on an airplane and go anywhere we want to, anytime we want to.

Yeah, and you either get first class, or a middle seat at the back of the plane. As a Lifetime Platinum customer, met many a pilot that way - either becuase I got the free first class upgrade, or I changed my flight at the last minute and got the aisle at the back. rofile:
