Hey, it's got to warm up sometime, right?? I just looked at the GYC web site and they are having a Chilli Cookoff contest at the next club race, March 6. If it's warm and I don't have to work, I plan on going, the chilli will be an added bonus! Any other F16's planing on being there?
It's been months since I've been on the boat, I really need some practice. If it's still FFFFreezing on March 6, March 20 is the next one, but I'll probably be at the Sebring 12hr. Le Mans race that day.
I doubt if I make the 6th but should be there for the 20th. I am planning on the sailing camp prior to Nationals.
Please remind me, what are the sailing camp dates? Thanks.
And Nationals are April 9-11, right? If I don't keep repeating the dates to my self I will forget to bid them off, and end up working on those days!
It sucks getting old, the first thing to go is your memory, and the second thing is....?
I forgot.
But your probably getting some senority, and those bids aren't as difficult to get.
No Karl, because two years ago the FAA raised the mandatory retirement age to 65, we right now have over 30 777 Captains, and 3 First Officers, flying over age 60.
Here's the funny part; they are NOT allowed to fly TOGETHER! That's right, you cannot have BOTH pilots up front over age 60! So, I guess it's not as
Safe
as the FAA would have you believe?
I would have moved up those 30 numbers as they retired at age 60, if the age had not been changed to 65, but I have actually moved BACKWARDS by 5 numbers in the past 3 years on the 777, due to other, more senior, pilots bidding onto the 777 from other airplanes, in front of me.
I voted against the age change, as did 60% of voting line pilots, but our
Leaders
decided they would like it raised in spite of the membership's wishes. Don't get me started.
Thanks Pete!
Timbo,
This weekend March 6th-7 is the SC45 and the rescheduled Hagar. Ding posted the Nors somewhere in this forum and on 1design I think.
SC45 Saturday then Hagar on Sunday - all at Pineda. Sat party is probably at our house.
